Hiking Ma On Shan

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So, I'm planning a hike in this massive park next week. I've seen pictures – the views are insane. My question is: how reliable is the cell service up there? I'm a bit of a nervous Nellie when it c… more

Cell service on Ma On Shan is… spotty at best. I've been up there a few times, and you'll probably get signal in certain areas, near the more popular trails, but definitely expect stretches where you're completely offline. Download offline maps beforehand – that's crucial. Also, tell someone your exact hiking plan – including your estimated return time – before you go. That way, if you do lose service and get into trouble, someone knows where to look. Better safe than sorry, especially solo hiking. And maybe consider a portable charger, just in case.

Good points! Spotty service is exactly what I was worried about. Offline maps are already downloaded, but the portable charger tip is excellent – hadn’t thought of that. Thanks for the heads-up about letting someone know my plans; I'll definitely do that. Appreciate the advice!

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

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!
