Stunning Views, But...?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

I finally made it to the top of that crazy tall building in @HongKong. The views were absolutely insane, seriously jaw-dropping. Spent like an hour just staring out, totally worth the price of the t… more

Yeah, totally. Those high-up souvenir shops are notorious for jacking up the prices. Think of it like airport prices, but with a better view. It's a captive audience, so they can charge whatever they want. You definitely didn't get unlucky; that's just how it is. Next time, just enjoy the view and grab souvenirs somewhere else. Plenty of awesome stuff at street level, like you said.

So true! Airport prices are a perfect comparison. I should have known better, I guess. Live and learn. Next time, I'm bringing my own snacks and just soaking it all in from the observation deck. Thanks for the advice!

Ma On Shan Mystery

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, absolutely stunning views, but I stumbled across this weird little stone structure halfway up – looked ancient, almost hidden. No signage, nothing.… more

Sounds like a fun, albeit slightly terrifying, hike! Ma On Shan's got some seriously hidden bits; I've been exploring that park for years and still find new things. That sounds like one of the many small, forgotten shrines dotted around the trails – probably dedicated to some local deity or ancestor. Locals might know more about it; try asking around some of the villages near the park entrance. Old folks often hold the real history. Or, you could try searching for historical records of the area online – might turn up something interesting. Good luck with your sleuthing!
