Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find that hidden waterfall… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's trails can be a bit…tricky. Sharp Peak is amazing though, I totally agree. Forget those online maps; they're garbage for anything off the main paths. Get yourself a good topo map – the ones from the Hong Kong government are pretty decent. Also, download offline maps to your phone (Gaia GPS is popular, lots of people swear by it). Knowing how to read a compass and use it with a map is a lifesaver. Seriously, learn the basics – it'll save you hours of frustrating wandering. And a well-charged power bank is your best friend out there. Those waterfalls are well-hidden, but persisting and having good navigational skills increases your odds of finding them! Good luck on your next adventure!

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! I hadn't even considered a topo map – I was relying entirely on those online things, which you're right, are useless. Gaia GPS, noted! And yeah, a compass...I should probably dust off my old scouting skills. Power bank's already on the packing list, but the compass tip is gold. Sounds like a proper adventure is in order then! Appreciate the heads-up.

Union Square Mystery

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right by the statue of the three crouching tigers. Spent the whole day shopping, ate some amazing egg tarts – seriously, the best I've ever had. But,… more

Sounds like a classic Hong Kong mystery! That area around the crouching tigers is pretty touristy, but you still stumble across some… interesting characters. Lots of little shops sell trinkets like that. Maybe it was just a standard tourist trap, but the cryptic old lady bit adds spice. She probably just wanted to sell her jade. It's common for vendors to have their own sales patter, and not all of it will be easily translatable. Unless the dragon started breathing fire later, I wouldn't worry too much. Probably just a cool souvenir story now.
