Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a conference. Heard it’s a really old school, steeped in history. Anyone know any good spots nearby for grabbing authentic Hong Kong st… more

Also, wander around the residential areas – you'll find some amazing little hole-in-the-wall places that tourists rarely stumble upon. Good luck with your conference!

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.
