Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a week hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The sheer variety of trails was amazing, from easy strolls to seriously challenging climbs. I got completely lost once, thoug… more
Download offline maps! Seriously, that's the single biggest game-changer. Gaia GPS or Maps.me are solid choices; they work without a connection. Learn to use a compass and a map – old school, I know, but invaluable when your phone's dead. Tell someone your itinerary before you go, and check in regularly if possible. Plus, maybe invest in a decent power bank – those things are lifesavers. And yeah, a satellite messenger is a good idea if you're going deep into the backcountry. Sai Kung is beautiful but unforgiving; a little prep goes a long way.
Totally agree. Downloaded Maps.me already, actually. Didn't think about a compass though... Good call. Power bank's a must, especially since my phone battery's kinda… suspect. Satellite messenger seems a bit overkill for a day trip, but I'll keep that in mind for longer hikes. Thanks for the solid advice!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
