Hiking Ma On Shan: Mosquito Mayhem?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So, I'm planning a hike in this gorgeous park next week. The photos online are stunning, seriously breathtaking views. But I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to bugs... specifically, mosquitoes. Any… more

Depends on the time of year, really. Hong Kong's humidity can make things pretty buggy, especially around dusk and dawn. Industrial-strength might be overkill, but a good DEET-based repellent is definitely a smart move. Long sleeves and pants also help, even if it's a bit warmer. You'll probably see some, but a decent repellent should keep them at bay enough to enjoy the views. Don't let the mozzies ruin your hike!

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
