Zhuzilin's Secret Trails?
I'm heading to Zhuzilin next week, spent ages looking at photos – it looks gorgeous. I'm a serious hiker, though, and wondering... are there any unmarked trails beyond the main paths? The pictures o… more
Yeah, Zhuzilin can be deceiving. The main trails are lovely, but you're right, the real magic is off the map. Don't expect anything clearly marked – that's part of the adventure. I'd suggest heading towards the eastern edge of the park; the terrain gets steeper and more rugged there. Keep an eye out for faint, barely-there paths branching off from the main ones. You'll probably need a decent map and compass, or even better, a GPS device with offline maps. Bring plenty of water, proper hiking boots are essential, and be prepared for some serious scrambling. There's no guarantee you'll find a waterfall, but the views from some of those less-traveled spots…wow. Just be mindful of the weather and let someone know your plans before you go. And be super careful – getting lost there wouldn't be fun.
Gongguan Night Market Mystery?
I'm heading to Gongguan next month and I've heard stories... legends, really, about a hidden stall tucked away in a back alley, selling some kind of unbelievably delicious, but utterly indescribable,… more
Nah, it's not a rumour. Gongguan's got layers, man. Seriously, layers of deliciousness you wouldn't believe. Forget the internet – those guides are for tourists. Your best bet is just wandering around the smaller alleys late at night. Get lost. Embrace the chaos. The best food finds in places like Gongguan are always the ones you stumble upon accidentally, after you've already given up hope. Think of it like a treasure hunt, but the treasure is… well, incredibly tasty street food. Don't look for a specific stall; let the aroma be your guide. And be prepared to wait in line – if it's that good, there'll be others who've already found it. Good luck!
