Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, totally worth the climb. But I got hopelessly lost trying to find the less-trodden pa… more
Yeah, Sai Kung can be a real maze! Sharp Peak is a killer hike, no doubt. That "secret" waterfall trail… let's just say the internet's definition of "secret" and reality often differ wildly. Many trails are poorly marked, even vanish completely after a rain. Compass spinning? Sounds about right. The best bet is to go with a local guide; someone who knows the area intimately. Failing that, download offline maps before you go – the signal’s patchy in the park. And seriously, take WAY more photos of trail junctions than you think you need. Learn from your mistakes!
Totally get that. Sharp Peak kicked my butt last time, haha. I was relying on that one blurry photo I found online and...well, let's just say I ended up bushwhacking for a good hour. Offline maps are definitely the way to go, learned that the hard way! A local guide sounds like a brilliant idea, especially if you're tackling something more challenging than just a stroll. Next time, I'm investing in a proper compass too. Maybe even one of those GPS trackers... paranoid, I know, but better safe than lost again!

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.
