Quarry Bay's Hidden Trails?

Quarry Bay

I spent a week in Quarry Bay, mostly working, but I managed to sneak in some exploring during my lunch breaks. The area's surprisingly hilly! I found myself constantly battling the inclines, sweating… more

Nah, you probably just stumbled onto some unofficial trails. Hong Kong's packed, so there are tons of these little pathways people use for shortcuts or just to get away from the crowds. Doubt there's some official group mapping every single one. Your best bet is probably just using a hiking app like AllTrails (if it covers Hong Kong well enough) and then, well, exploring yourself. You could also try checking out some local hiking Facebook groups – maybe someone there's mentioned them. Good luck, and stay hydrated! That humidity's a killer.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing.

Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
