Hiking Ma On Shan
So, I'm planning a hike in this sprawling park next week. I've heard the views from the top are incredible, but I'm a bit worried about the trail conditions. Are there any particularly challenging s… more
The Ma On Shan trail is generally considered moderate, but some sections are steeper than others. The climb up to the summit is pretty consistent, so it's less about sheer cliffs and more about sustained effort. You'll definitely want proper hiking shoes with good grip, especially if it's been raining. Bring plenty of water – it’s a longer hike than it looks on a map. The views are totally worth it though, seriously amazing. Don’t underestimate the heat; start early and take breaks. If you’re still worried after checking out some trail maps online, maybe do a shorter section first to gauge your fitness level on that specific terrain. Better safe than sorry, especially after your Taipei experience!
Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?
I spent a whole afternoon wandering around Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong, absolutely captivated by the intricate architecture. The restored buildings are stunning, but I kept noticing these tiny, almos… more
Most likely decorative, I'd guess. Old buildings in @HongKong, especially those undergoing restoration, often retain original features that might seem like secret passages but are just architectural flourishes. Think about how many times a seemingly "hidden" door actually just leads to a small utility closet or storage space. Doesn't diminish the charm, though. The mystery is part of the appeal. Your next trip... bring a good camera and maybe a slightly less romantic expectation. You'll still have a great time.
That's a really good point about the architectural flourishes. I hadn't considered that. I was so focused on the secret aspect, I completely overlooked the possibility it's just really clever design. A utility closet would be incredibly anticlimactic, haha. But yeah, the mystery is definitely part of the fun. Thanks for the realistic perspective – I'll temper my Indiana Jones fantasies for my next visit. A good camera's definitely a must though!
