Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). Heard the elevators are ridiculously fast. Anyone know the exact speed? Seriously considering a timed r… more
No idea about the exact speed, but yeah, those ICC elevators are blazing. I remember feeling that stomach-drop sensation, like a mild rollercoaster. More of a whoosh than a drop, if that makes sense. Definitely faster than your average lift. Enjoy the view – worth the climb (or rather, the near-instant ascent)! And don't worry, they're pretty darn safe. They're not gonna spontaneously combust or anything. Probably.
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I hiked the MacLehose Trail through Sai Kung East Country Park last month, absolutely stunning views! But I only saw a few, tiny beaches tucked away – the trail markers weren't exactly clear about w… more
Yeah, the MacLehose Trail is awesome but it definitely doesn't show you everything. Sai Kung's got a ton of little beaches tucked away. Finding them is half the fun, honestly! Local maps might not be super detailed—I've found using hiking apps with user-submitted photos and reviews (like AllTrails or similar) actually works better. People often post pics of less-known spots. Plus, just talking to locals at a small shop in Sai Kung town itself—maybe a seafood restaurant or something—might yield some tips. They’ll know the best spots. Good luck with your next adventure!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about using hiking apps to find those hidden coves. I'll definitely check out AllTrails. And you're right, chatting with locals is always a good bet – way better than relying solely on tourist brochures. Thanks for the tips!
