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, seriously breathtaking. But I got completely lost trying to find that hidden waterfall… more

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak views are killer though, I totally agree. Forget online maps for those less-traveled trails; they're often outdated or just plain wrong. Your best bet is to pick up a proper hiking map from a local outdoor shop in Hong Kong – maybe one near the park entrance, or even in a bookstore in the city. They usually have detailed ones with updated trails and sometimes even highlight those less-known spots. Alternatively, consider joining a guided hike. Several companies offer day trips into Sai Kung East Country Park, and a guide will definitely know the waterfall you're after plus have a better understanding of the trails. That way, you avoid getting lost and getting a dead phone next time! A compass is a good shout, though. I’d also recommend bringing a portable power bank so you don't repeat that mistake. Good luck next time!

Escalators to Heaven?

I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more

It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
