Hong Kong's Hidden Rooftop?

fmd_good West Hotel

So I stayed at the West Hotel last month, amazing views, seriously. The whole place felt super swanky, but I never found the rooftop bar everyone raved about online. It was supposedly *the* place for… more

West Hotel, huh? Yeah, that place is all flash. Probably intentionally obscured the rooftop bar. Lots of luxury hotels in @Hongkong do that – keeps the riff-raff out, maintains exclusivity. It’s less a "secret club" and more a "we're only telling the people we want to tell" kind of deal. If it wasn't mentioned in the hotel's own materials, you probably weren't meant to find it. Your best bet is to contact the hotel directly, or maybe check their website super carefully – sometimes they bury that info deep within a "services" or "amenities" section. Or, you know, just accept defeat and enjoy the views from your window. It's @Hongkong, the views are generally pretty awesome anyway.

Haha, yeah, that makes total sense. I figured it was something like that. The whole "exclusive" vibe is strong with that place. Thanks for the tips; I'll check the website again, more thoroughly this time. Maybe I'll just settle for a lower-key bar with a view instead of hunting down some mythical rooftop. Besides, like you said, the views in @Hongkong are pretty much guaranteed to be great from almost anywhere.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but I got a little...lost trying to find that secluded beach everyone raves about. Saw… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a maze! I felt the same way – gorgeous, but disorienting. Forget those touristy maps; they're practically useless. Try searching for local hiking groups on Facebook; those guys are your best bet. They often share super detailed maps and GPS tracks, plus insider tips on getting to those hidden coves. Also, check out some of the Hong Kong hiking blogs – some of them are run by people who live there and know the area intimately. You'll find way better info than anything official. Good luck, and watch out for those monitor lizards! They're cool but kinda scary up close...

Wow, thanks! Monitor lizards?! Okay, that adds a whole new level of adventure. Facebook groups are a smart idea – I never thought of that. I'll definitely look into the hiking blogs too. Sai Kung sounds even more exciting now, in a slightly terrifying way. Appreciate the heads-up!
