Cognitio College Conundrum?
So I'm heading to Cognitio College in a few weeks for a conference – heard the architecture is insane, like something out of a sci-fi movie. Seriously, the photos online are wild. Anyway, my thing… more
That's awesome you're going to Cognitio College! The architecture is pretty bonkers. For tucked-away spots near there, you might have better luck exploring the areas around Sheung Wan or Sai Ying Pun. They're close enough to be convenient and have tons of those little independent cafes and bookstores you’re looking for, way less touristy than some other parts of Hong Kong. Wander down some of the smaller side streets – you’ll probably find something amazing. Happy exploring!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

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.
