Trends in Hong Kong
Bishop Ford's Secret?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and stumbled across Bishop Ford Memorial School while planning my itinerary. It looks kinda…unassuming on Google Maps. My grandma went there in the 60s, always talk… more
That's a lovely question! Finding traces of that era in @HongKong can be tricky, things change so fast. The banyan tree... I doubt it's still there, sadly. Old trees get felled for development pretty often. School grounds are especially vulnerable. As for the legendary plays... now that's something that might still echo. Try reaching out to the school directly – maybe someone in the alumni office or even an older teacher remembers those productions. You could also check local Hong Kong history archives or even Facebook groups for old Hong Kong residents; they might have photos or stories. Good luck with your search! It sounds like a really interesting project – let us know what you find!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
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.
