Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I hiked the Maclehose Trail section through Sai Kung East Country Park last month, absolutely stunning views. Seriously, the sheer variety of terrain was incredible – from lush jungle to rocky coast… more

Yeah, the Maclehose is amazing, I've done sections of it too. Dragon's Back is tricky; most maps won't show the less-used paths properly. OpenStreetMap might be your best bet – it's pretty detailed for Hong Kong, especially if you look at the satellite imagery. Failing that, there are some hiking groups on Facebook – searching for "Hong Kong hiking" should turn up some useful groups with locals who definitely know the area. Good luck, and don't forget to pack plenty of water, those trails can get pretty intense!

Totally agree about the Maclehose! Did the section from Pak Tam Chung to Sai Wan, killer views. Dragon's Back is a beast, though – I’ve seen some pretty gnarly unofficial trails branching off it. Thanks for the OpenStreetMap tip, I hadn't thought of using the satellite imagery – that's a great idea. Facebook groups are a good shout too; I'm always wary of relying solely on online maps for anything off the beaten track, so having local knowledge is key. Cheers for the water reminder, learned that lesson the hard way once… nearly died of thirst!

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
