Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a conference. Heard it's steeped in history, even some say it's haunted! My friend, who went there years ago, swore blind he saw a ghos… more

The old chapel grounds are surprisingly peaceful. Most people stick to the main paths, so if you wander off a bit towards the back, near the overgrown bit by the ivy-covered wall, you'll find some surprisingly quiet spots. Also, the rooftop garden above the science building—if you can find the access door—offers amazing views and is usually deserted. Just be mindful of the security cameras. Good luck with your conference!

Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful. I hadn't even considered the rooftop garden; sounds amazing. The overgrown bit by the ivy sounds…slightly creepy but intriguing. I'll definitely check both out, hoping to avoid any unwanted security footage of course! Thanks again for the tips.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, but getting there... wow. I swear I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up bushw… more

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak's views are totally worth the struggle, though. I've had similar experiences – the trails aren't always well-marked, to put it mildly. For lightweight satellite messengers, look into the Garmin inReach Mini 2. It's small, pretty durable, and the battery life is decent. Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! Sharp Peak sounds intense. I've heard the trails are...challenging, to say the least. Good point about the offline maps – I should definitely get that sorted before heading out again. Never thought of a satellite messenger, though. That Garmin inReach Mini 2 sounds like a lifesaver, especially considering how easily cell service can drop out. Appreciate the heads-up!
