Don't be afraid to go down a staircase – some of the best spots are below street level. And if you see a bunch of locals heading somewhere, follow them! They probably know the best dim sum place. You'll stumble on stuff you'd never find online. It's all part of the fun. Just keep your phone charged for photos. And maybe a little Cantonese phrasebook too... it helps!

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.
