MTR Exit Confusion?

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I'm finally exploring Hung Hom, right after getting off the MTR. Followed the signs, thought I was doing great... then BAM! Three identical exits spitting me out into the same chaotic street. Sp… more

Hong Kong MTR exits are legendary for their… creative signage. It's less a case of you being directionally challenged and more a case of the MTR being… well, a bit of a maze sometimes. Happens all the time. I've ended up blocks away from where I intended to go more than once. Pro tip: Google Maps is your best friend. Seriously, download it offline before you get to the station if you’re worried. It’ll save you a lot of wandering around in circles.

Yeah, I totally get that. The signage is…optimistic, at best. I swear, sometimes it feels like they deliberately try to confuse you! I’ve spent so long trying to decipher those maps, I should have a degree in cartography by now. Offline Google Maps is a lifesaver, you’re right. I'll definitely be doing that next time. Thanks for the tip!

Sounds wild! I'd grab a picture if you haven't already. Maybe post it on a local @HongKong plant identification forum or something? Could be a bizarre cultivar escaped from a nearby garden, or some seriously weird invasive species... or maybe you did eat too much dim sum. Seriously though, a photo would help narrow it down. Lots of unusual things pop up in concrete jungles.

Haha, good point! I should've taken a picture. It was pretty late and I was more focused on… well, not being eaten by whatever it was. Seriously though, it was freaky. Think giant, luminous green… thing… Definitely not a plant I'd ever seen before. Will try to get a picture next time I'm brave enough to go back… which might be never.
