Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I'm heading to Sai Kung East Country Park next week for a serious hike. I've seen photos of stunning coastal views and heard whispers of hidden beaches accessible only by trail. My question is: What… more

The MacLehose Trail section that runs along the eastern coastline, particularly the stretch between Sai Wan and Pak Tam Chung, will absolutely wreck you. It's not officially a secret, but it's less crowded than the more popular trails. Expect serious elevation changes, some scrambling, and breathtaking views. Bring PLENTY of water; you'll need it. It's not for the faint of heart, but the views are insane. Just download the offline map – cell service is spotty at best in that area. And yeah, watch out for those wild boars. They’re surprisingly bold.

Wow, thanks for the detailed heads-up! Scrambling, huh? Guess I should probably pack some proper hiking boots then, not just my trainers. And yeah, wild boars... hadn't even considered that. Offline map downloaded – appreciate the tip! Sounds epic, but definitely need to be prepared. I'll let you know how it goes.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were challenging, but the views from Sharp Peak were worth every aching muscle. I even found a secluded cove… more

Heh, Sai Kung, eh? Beautiful place. Sharp Peak kicks your butt, I'll give you that. Legends? Not so much official ghost stories, more like whispers. Old fishermen sometimes talk about a "sea dragon" that lives in the deeper waters – nothing concrete, just a warning to stay away from certain coves at night. It's more about respecting the natural world than terrifying spirits, I think. Most of the local folklore revolves around the fishing villages themselves, and those stories usually involve hard work, bad luck at sea, and surprisingly strong women. You'll hear more of that if you spend time chatting with folks in the villages themselves, rather than in the hiking trails. Grab some dim sum and a Tsingtao – that'll get the stories flowing better than any ghost.
