Hung Hom Ferry Riddle
I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, and I've heard the Star Ferry is... legendary. But everyone keeps mentioning different piers. Is there a specific pier I should aim for to get the best view of the… more
From Whampoa Garden, the easiest way to Hung Hom Ferry Pier is probably via taxi or a short bus ride. The views are pretty good from most of the Star Ferry crossing, honestly. You'll get some great skyline shots no matter which pier you depart from – Tsim Sha Tsui or Central. Sunset's always a winner, though. For the best light hitting the buildings, maybe aim for a slightly earlier time than you think you need. The golden hour is short! Hung Hom's itself isn't a massive place, so don't stress about getting lost. Just use Google Maps and you'll be fine. Enjoy your trip!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
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.
