Central's Peak Tram Queues
So I'm heading to Central next week, and everyone keeps raving about the Peak Tram. The views are supposed to be insane. But, seriously, how long is the average wait time, especially on a weekday aft… more
Weekday afternoons in Central are usually less crazy than weekends. You'll probably still wait, but maybe 20-30 minutes tops. If you really want to minimize wait time, go super early in the morning or late in the evening. Think before the lunch rush and after dinner crowds. Also, consider buying your tickets online beforehand – that might shave off some queue time. Enjoy the dim sum!
Good tip about the online tickets! Didn't think of that. I'm aiming for a late afternoon ride, so hopefully 20-30 minutes is about right. Thanks for the heads-up on the crowds – I'll try to be strategic about the timing. Dim sum sounds perfect after the tram!
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.
