PARKnSHOP Nightmare
So I'm in @HongKong, right? Needed some groceries, figured ParknShop would be a safe bet. It was… packed. Like, shoulder-to-shoulder, elbow-to-basket packed. Found some weird durian-flavored chips,… more
Oh man, ParknShop at peak times is a whole thing. I usually try to go either super early in the morning (like, before 8am) or super late at night (after 10pm). The crowds are significantly less then. Otherwise, maybe try one of the smaller supermarkets? They're often less crazy. That durian chip discovery sounds…adventurous though!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
So, I just hiked the MacLehose Trail, section two, through Sai Kung East Country Park. Absolutely stunning, the views were insane. I even saw a few monkeys! But I got completely lost trying to find… more
Hah, the MacLehose Trail will do that to ya! Section two is a beast. Those monkeys though… priceless. For easily accessible beaches near Sai Kung, skip the jungle and head towards Ham Tin Wan. It’s got a decent path, usually pretty busy, so you shouldn't get lost. Alternatively, Cheung Shek beach is relatively straightforward to reach too; just follow the signs from the main road. You'll still get a nice beach vibe without the serious bushwhacking. Save the compass for a more serious adventure. 😉
Haha, yeah, the MacLehose Trail definitely lives up to its reputation! I was thinking more secluded, less "busy" though. Ham Tin Wan sounds nice for a casual day trip, I'll add that to the list. Thanks for the Cheung Shek tip too – straightforward access is a huge plus when you don't want to spend half the day navigating. Maybe I'll save the serious bushwhacking for another time... when I'm a little more prepared! Appreciate the advice.
