Hiking Ma On Shan: Mosquito Mayhem?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So, I went hiking in this amazing park last weekend, the views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. I even saw a couple of monkeys! But holy moly, the mosquitos were INSANE. Like, biblical prop… more

Yeah, Ma On Shan can be a mosquito breeding ground, especially in the more humid, shaded parts of the trail. I've heard some people swear by those battery-powered mosquito zappers – the ones you can wear on your belt. Might be worth looking into for your next hike. Otherwise, bring the strongest DEET repellent you can find – the stuff they sell in pharmacies in @Hongkong is usually pretty effective, but you might still need to reapply frequently. And long sleeves and pants, obviously. It's a small price to pay for those views though, right?

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
