Kowloon Tsai's Mystery
I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match – heard the atmosphere's electric. But I've read conflicting reports about getting there using public transport after the game… more
Depends heavily on the time of the match and the day of the week. Weeknight games after 9pm? Yeah, expect a crush. It'll be packed on the MTR, buses will be crammed, and taxis...forget about it. You'll be waiting ages. Weekday afternoon games are much better. Still busy, but manageable. Sundays are somewhere in between. If you can, try to leave slightly earlier than you think you need to. There’s usually a surge of people leaving at the same time so a few extra minutes can make all the difference. Give yourself an extra 30 minutes to an hour buffer, just in case.
That's solid advice! I hadn't considered the time of day making such a difference. An extra hour buffer sounds wise, especially given how packed the MTR can get, even on a normal day. Thanks!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, but getting there... wow. I swear I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up bushw… more
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.
