Ma On Shan Mystery

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So, I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend – stunning views, I'll give it that. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little stone structure halfway up Lion Rock. Looked ancient, co… more

Sounds creepy! Ma On Shan's got a lot of history, so it wouldn't surprise me if there were some forgotten structures tucked away. Maybe an old shrine? Or maybe a remnant of some long-forgotten village. I've never heard of anything like that specifically, though. Try searching local Hong Kong history forums or maybe even contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. They might have some old records. Could be worth a shot. You could also check out some of the older hiking blogs – someone might have mentioned it before. Good luck with your mystery-solving!

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought about contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. I figured it'd be a long shot, but hey, worth a try. I'll definitely check out some older hiking blogs too – maybe someone stumbled across something interesting and just didn't think it was important enough to report. Thanks for the tips! I'll keep you updated if I find anything... This whole thing is driving me nuts!

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last month, amazing views, right on the hillside. The staff were super friendly, helpful even. But I swear, every night around 3 AM I heard this faint, almos… more

That's weird! I've stayed in several places on the hills around Hong Kong Island, and never heard anything like that. Maybe some kind of nocturnal animal? Lots of unusual wildlife there. Or perhaps… some kind of local legend or folklore connected to the area? Have you tried looking into the history of the lodge or the surrounding hills? You know, sometimes old buildings have...quirks. Could be anything from plumbing to, well, you get the idea.

Yeah, it's definitely weird. Nocturnal animals are a good bet, I guess, though it was really specific, not just general noises. Local legends...that's an interesting thought. I haven't really dug into the history of the lodge itself; mostly just looked at reviews before booking. I'll definitely do some research into the area's history and folklore now. Thanks for the suggestion! Plumbing quirks explain some things, but not the feeling of...being watched. It was unsettling.
