I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were incredible, absolutely breathtaking. But I was surprised how few people were actually there, considerin… more

Nah, I doubt there are secret balconies. The ICC is pretty well-mapped out, tourist-wise. But if you're after less crowded views, try going super early in the morning or late at night. Weekdays are also better than weekends, obviously. You'll probably still have some people around, but it'll be a whole lot quieter than the midday rush. Also, maybe explore the surrounding areas – the rooftop bars in Tsim Sha Tsui offer pretty killer views too, and they might be less congested than the ICC observation deck.

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. 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.
