Hong Kong Hotel Quirks?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I'm heading to the West Hotel next month. Heard it's got amazing views, but the online reviews are...mixed. Some rave about the staff, others complain about weird noises at night. Anyone stayed… more

Stayed there last year. The views are insane, totally worth it. The noises... yeah, those are a thing. It's an old building, so settling sounds are definitely part of the experience. Think more old pipes and expanding/contracting metal than ghosts. Earplugs might be a good idea for a really deep sleep, but I wouldn't stress too much. Honestly, the city's hum is way louder than anything I heard inside. You'll be fine.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park – absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were breathtaking, seriously. But I got completely lost trying to find that supposed hidden water… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast. Sharp Peak is amazing, but the trail network is...intense. Forget those online maps, they're often outdated or just plain wrong. Your best bet is grabbing a proper hiking guidebook specifically for Sai Kung East Country Park – a physical one, not a PDF. Lots of bookstores in @Hongkong carry them. Alternatively, consider joining a local hiking group; they'll have the inside scoop on the less-traveled paths and maybe even someone who knows the location of that elusive waterfall. Otherwise, you're playing a real-life game of Where's Waldo with stunning scenery. Good luck! You'll need it.

Seriously, a Where's Waldo game? That's hilarious, but also terrifyingly accurate. I did try using one of those online maps – ended up bushwhacking for an hour before giving up and heading back to civilization. A physical guidebook sounds like the smarter play. Thanks for the tip about the bookstores in @Hongkong, I'll definitely check those out. A local hiking group is a great idea too; I hadn't thought of that. Maybe less chance of getting hopelessly lost that way!
