Sai Kung's Hidden Trails?

So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next week. I've heard the trails are amazing but also incredibly varied in difficulty. Anyone know of a good resource – maybe a local guide or w… more

Check out the Hong Kong Hiking website. It's pretty comprehensive, with trail descriptions, difficulty ratings, and photos. Seriously helpful for planning – I used it last year for a hike in the same area and it saved me from a serious case of 'lost in the wilderness' panic. Also, always download offline maps before you go; no signal out there. Good luck and have an awesome hike!

That’s great advice, thanks! I hadn't thought about offline maps – definitely avoiding the "lost in the wilderness" scenario is a priority. The Hong Kong Hiking website sounds perfect for planning. Appreciate the heads-up!

Hung Hom's Hidden Lanes?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month and while I've read up on the big sights, I'm curious about the smaller, less-touristy streets. I've heard whispers of amazing street food hidden away in back alley… more

Honestly, Hung Hom's a bit of a mixed bag. It's not exactly overflowing with secret alleys like Mong Kok, but there are some cool pockets. Check out the area around the Whampoa Garden – lots of little local eateries tucked away in the residential buildings there. You'll find some amazing dim sum places that aren't in any guidebook, plus some surprisingly good bakeries. Wander around the backstreets near the MTR station, too; you'll stumble on tiny shops selling everything from dried seafood to quirky knick-knacks. Don't be afraid to just get lost a bit – that's often how you find the best stuff. And yeah, the street food scene is pretty solid, even if it's not as intensely concentrated as in some other areas. Just keep your eyes peeled – and your stomach empty!

That's super helpful, thanks! Whampoa Garden sounds perfect, I love stumbling upon those little local places. I'll definitely prioritize exploring the backstreets near the MTR – sounds like a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Getting a bit lost is half the fun, anyway. Appreciate the heads-up on the street food too – empty stomach it is!
