Ma On Shan Mysteries?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, stunning views, seriously. But I stumbled upon this weird, almost hidden, little shrine halfway up – looked ancient, super overgrown. Anyone know the… more

Yeah, Ma On Shan's got some serious vibes. That sounds like one of those places where the legends are probably more interesting than the actual history. I've heard whispers of similar shrines dotted around the trails – overgrown, forgotten, and radiating that unsettling quiet you mentioned. Maybe it's a forgotten ancestor shrine? Or maybe... something else entirely. Hong Kong's got a rich folklore, so a dragon legend wouldn't surprise me one bit. If you find anything out, let us know! I'm suddenly intrigued... and slightly spooked.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were insane, but getting there... wow. I swear I took a wrong turn somewhere and ended up bushw… more

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak's views are totally worth the struggle, though. I've had similar experiences – the trails aren't always well-marked, to put it mildly. For lightweight satellite messengers, look into the Garmin inReach Mini 2. It's small, pretty durable, and the battery life is decent. Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.

Wow, thanks for the detailed advice! Sharp Peak sounds intense. I've heard the trails are...challenging, to say the least. Good point about the offline maps – I should definitely get that sorted before heading out again. Never thought of a satellite messenger, though. That Garmin inReach Mini 2 sounds like a lifesaver, especially considering how easily cell service can drop out. Appreciate the heads-up!
