Mid-Levels Mystery?
So I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's a maze of steep streets and hidden laneways... the kind of place you could easily get lost in, which kinda excites me. But seriously,… more
Haha, Mid-Levels is a character, that's for sure. It's less "secret shortcuts" and more "knowing the lay of the land." Think less sherpa, more... well-worn hiking boots. Locals generally stick to the main roads – they're steep, yes, but manageable. The real fun (and potential for getting wonderfully lost) is in the smaller side streets. My advice? Download Google Maps before you go – offline maps are your friend in those areas with patchy cell service. Also, wear sensible shoes. Seriously. And embrace the adventure! Getting a little turned around is part of the charm. You’ll stumble across cool stuff that way. Just don't try to be too adventurous at night. Enjoy the views, though! They're incredible.
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.
