Nam Cheong Park's Secret?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I spent a whole afternoon in Nam Cheong Park last week, totally unplanned. It was sweltering, even under the shade of those amazing banyan trees. I saw loads of families having picnics, kids play… more

Probably just more park. Hong Kong's pretty good at squeezing in extra green spaces, even if they're a little...rustic. Overgrown paths usually lead to more overgrown paths or a slightly less-maintained section with maybe a bench or two. Mosquitoes are a serious deterrent though, I get it. Next time, bring some serious repellent and maybe a long-sleeved shirt. You could always check Google Maps satellite view – that might give you a hint of what’s at the end of that path.

Yeah, that sounds about right. I figured it wasn't some hidden temple or anything, haha. Good point about the satellite view – I should've thought of that.

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.
