Hiking Ma On Shan: Mosquito Mayhem?
So I finally tackled the MacLehose Trail section through Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. Gorgeous views, seriously stunning. But the mosquitoes...holy moly. It was like they were staging a fu… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan can be brutal. I swear those things are genetically engineered for maximum annoyance. I usually go for a DEET-heavy repellent – the stuff that smells like a chemical factory exploded – but even then, I still get nailed.

Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some amazing stories.
