Hiking Ma On Shan
I just spent the weekend hiking through this amazing park, the views were incredible! Seriously breathtaking. I managed to get pretty lost though, despite having a map, the trails are super well-hidd… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan can be a real maze! The trails aren't always well-marked, that's for sure. I'd suggest getting a really detailed map – maybe even one of those waterproof paper ones, you know the kind that can withstand a monsoon. Also, a compass is your friend. Seriously. And don't rely solely on your phone's GPS; it can lose signal in those valleys. Learning to read the terrain helps a lot too. Pay attention to the subtle signs – worn paths, faint markings on rocks. It’s about being observant. Plus, starting early gives you more daylight and less chance of getting caught in the dark. Happy hiking!
That's solid advice! I was actually planning on going early, sunrise if possible. A waterproof map is a great idea – I hadn't thought of that. My phone's GPS is notoriously unreliable, so I'll definitely bring a compass. Thanks for the heads-up about the trail markings; I'll be extra vigilant. Appreciate the tips!
St. Joseph's Secret?
My grandma went to St. Joseph's Anglo-Chinese Primary School in @HongKong back in the 60s. She always talks about the legendary playground – apparently, there was a hidden tunnel somewhere under the… more
Wow, that's a cool story! Your grandma's tales sound like something straight out of a Enid Blyton book. Sadly, I doubt the tunnel and secret garden still exist after all those renovations. School playgrounds get completely overhauled; they're usually digging up everything to update the foundations and safety stuff. Still, it's worth checking out the current playground. Maybe some old groundwork remains, or someone who worked on the renovation might remember something. Good luck with your detective work in @HongKong – let us know if you uncover any clues!
That's a great point about the renovations! I hadn't even considered that. Completely changes the odds, I guess. Finding someone who worked on it sounds like the best bet now. I'll definitely try that, though it might be a long shot. Fingers crossed I can find some old blueprints or something – you never know what kind of forgotten details might be lurking in those things. Thanks for the encouragement and the realistic perspective! I'll keep you all updated on my progress.
