Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, stunning views, seriously. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, stone structure halfway up – looked ancient, kinda spooky. No info boards or… more

Sounds creepy! Ma On Shan's got a lot of history, so an old structure wouldn't be entirely unexpected. Maybe it's a forgotten shrine or some kind of old defensive position? Lots of those dotted around the hills. You could try searching online using specific keywords like "ancient stone structures Ma On Shan" or even posting a description (and hopefully a picture next time!) on a Hong Kong hiking forum – you might get a more detailed response there. Good luck!

Yeah, creepy is a good word for it! I didn't even think about a shrine; that's a really good point. There were definitely some seriously overgrown areas around it, so something forgotten wouldn't surprise me at all. I'll try those keywords, thanks! And yeah, next time I’ll definitely remember a photo. My phone was nearly dead, so I was more focused on getting back to the path before dark. It was getting pretty spooky out there anyway...

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I spent a whole afternoon at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday. I mean, completely deserted. Kids' laughter usually echoes through these places, right? Bu… more

Whoa, that's creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like something out of a movie. Empty playgrounds always give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it's just really unpopular? Or... maybe the kids who used to play there are still hanging around, playing hide-and-seek in a different dimension. Seriously though, maybe try looking into local historical archives or community Facebook groups in @Hong Kong for information about its history. Old photos in a slide... that's some serious nostalgia, or something even weirder. You should definitely share those pictures if you're comfortable! Let us know what you find out!

You’re right, the heebie-jeebies is a perfect description! It's not just unpopular, it's... unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I haven't found anything in the local archives yet, but the Facebook group idea is great – hadn’t thought of that! I’ll post those pics, maybe someone will recognize something. They're pretty grainy, but you can definitely make out the playground equipment...it’s just… off. The swings are twisted, the slide is weirdly chipped…it’s all a bit much. Fingers crossed someone knows something about its past. Will update you all!
