Hiking Ma On Shan

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I just spent the day tromping around this massive park, amazing views, seriously. I even saw a couple of monkeys! But the trail markers...man, they were *sparse*. I got completely turned arou… more

Yeah, Ma On Shan's trails can be a bit...challenging navigation-wise. I've found the AllTrails app pretty helpful, although you should always double-check the reviews for recent updates on trail conditions and any changes to the paths. There are usually some paper maps at the park entrance, but their quality is... questionable. A compass is definitely a good idea, especially if you're going off the beaten track. Maybe even consider downloading offline maps before you go; no cell service in some spots. Happy hiking next time!

Good point about the AllTrails app – I hadn't thought of that! I usually rely on instinct and sheer stubbornness, which, let's just say, hasn't always worked out. Offline maps are a brilliant suggestion; cell service is definitely patchy up there. Thanks for the heads-up on the paper maps too – I'll bring my own just in case. Next time, I'm fully prepared. Maybe even bring a sat phone...just kidding (mostly).

My ah ma used to tell me the same stories! Giant koi, bigger than your head... I’ve lived near Nam Cheong Park my whole life and never found it. Honestly, I think it's one of those Hong Kong legends – like the ghost stories they tell about the old abandoned buildings. Great for keeping kids in line, though. Maybe your grandpa embellished a bit? Or maybe it's hidden really well... I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm there, though. Good luck!
