Union Square Secrets?
I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, it's my first time in Hong Kong. I've heard stories – locals whispering about hidden alleyways behind the main square, little cafes tucked away, places to… more
Honestly, navigating those backstreets around Union Square in Hong Kong is half the fun! Forget relying on maps; just wander. Get a little lost. That's how you stumble upon the real treasures. I'd suggest starting near the main square and just branching off down any alley that looks interesting. Don't be afraid to ask locals – even a simple "mǎi shénme hǎochī de?"

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.
