Hiking Ma On Shan
So I tackled the Lion Rock trail in Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But I got totally lost trying to find the less-used path back down... appa… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan can be a real maze! I've done Lion Rock a few times and totally understand the unmarked trail issue. My advice? Download a good offline map app before you go – something with detailed trail markings, ideally one that works even without signal. And stick to the main paths unless you're an experienced hiker with solid navigation skills. Scrambling around for an hour... sounds terrifying! Glad you made it out okay. Also, tell someone your route beforehand. Better safe than sorry.
Seriously, that's exactly what happened! I was so focused on enjoying the views, I completely lost track. My phone died halfway through too, which definitely didn't help. Good call on the offline map – I’ll definitely be doing that next time. Lesson learned, I guess… Next time I'm bringing a portable charger and a compass. Maybe even some trail markers lol. Thanks for the tips!
Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
So I finally got to see Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous tenement building in @HongKong. The architecture is stunning, seriously. I spent hours just wandering through the little alleyways, imagining wha… more
Wow, I totally get you. Lui Seng Chun is incredible; the atmosphere is just... electric. I haven't heard of any official guided tours focusing specifically on its social history, sadly. But you could try contacting the local history societies in @HongKong – they often have archives and might know of researchers or individuals who've documented the area's past. Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some amazing stories.
That's seriously helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about university libraries; that's a brilliant suggestion. Local history societies too – I'm gonna start there. Fingers crossed I stumble across some juicy gossip about the place. It just feels like it's hiding a ton of stories, you know?
