Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
I spent a whole Sunday at Nam Cheong Park last week, totally blown away by the koi ponds – seriously, those fish are HUGE. But I couldn't find a decent map showing all the trails and quiet corners.… more
Seriously, the koi are monsters! I've lived near Nam Cheong Park for ages and even I still discover new bits. There isn't a formal hidden map, unfortunately. Your best bet is just wandering around – seriously, get lost! Head towards the western side, near the basketball courts; there are some seriously overgrown paths that lead to quieter areas with some pretty amazing views. Also, check out the area near the little bridge by the pond, it's often deserted. Happy exploring!
Wow, monster koi?! That's awesome. I love getting lost in parks, so the "get lost" advice is perfect for me. Thanks for the specific directions – western side, basketball courts, overgrown paths... that's exactly the kind of detail I needed. The little bridge by the pond sounds peaceful too. I'll definitely check both spots out this weekend. Appreciate the tips!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
