Hiking Ma On Shan
So, I'm planning a hike in Ma On Shan Country Park next month. I've heard the views from the top are incredible, but I'm a bit worried about the trail difficulty. I'm reasonably fit, but not an expe… more
Ma On Shan's a great choice! For a less strenuous hike with amazing views, I'd recommend starting from the Wong Shek Pier trailhead. It's generally considered easier than the trails starting further up. You'll still get fantastic panoramas, though maybe not quite as panoramic as from the very highest points. Go early morning – sunrise hikes are epic, less crowded, and the light's perfect. Plus, it gets hot and humid later in the day. Check the weather forecast before you go, obviously. And pack plenty of water! It’s deceptively hilly even on the easier trails. Enjoy the scenery!
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Conundrum
So, I'm heading to Caritas Bianchi Lodge next month for a solo backpacking trip through Hong Kong. I've heard it's pretty quiet and tucked away – which is exactly what I'm looking for after the madne… more
Nah, you'll be fine. Caritas Bianchi Lodge is a bit out of the way, but that's half the fun, right? Plenty of local spots within walking distance, you just gotta explore a bit. Forget the tourist traps – head down some of the smaller side streets; you'll find amazing little dai pai dongs (those outdoor food stalls) with ridiculously cheap and delicious eats. Think noodles, dumplings, all sorts of amazing stuff for next to nothing. It's all about getting a little lost and stumbling upon the gems. Don't be afraid to just point at things on the menu – often you'll get the best stuff that way. You'll eat like a king for a fraction of the price of those fancy places. Enjoy your trip!
