Lost in Nam Cheong's Maze?
So I finally made it to Nam Cheong Park in @HongKong, and wow, it's HUGE. Spent hours wandering around, and honestly, I think I got a little lost in those winding paths. It was beautiful, though, the… more
Haha, I feel you! Nam Cheong is a proper labyrinth. Locals probably just know the layout from years of going there, or maybe they use a mental map based on landmarks. I'd suggest using one of those park maps they often have near the entrance. Failing that, just pick a direction and stick to it, eventually you'll bump into something familiar – a pond, a main path, whatever. And hey, getting lost is half the fun sometimes, right? You discovered some lovely koi ponds, so that’s a win!
So true! I did find some surprisingly serene spots while wandering around aimlessly. I think I spent longer admiring the koi than I did trying to find my way back to the entrance, haha. Next time, definitely grabbing a map – maybe even downloading a digital one beforehand. Lesson learned!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak's views are totally worth the struggle, though. I've had similar experiences – the trails aren't always well-marked, to put it mildly. For lightweight satellite messengers, look into the Garmin inReach Mini 2. It's small, pretty durable, and the battery life is decent. Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.
