Ma On Shan Mystery?
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, the views were incredible! Seriously, breathtaking. I followed one of the main trails, but then I stumbled upon this...almost hidden... little valley.… more
Wow, that sounds amazing! Ma On Shan is huge, so finding a secluded spot isn't surprising. I've hiked there loads and always discover something new. Those moss-covered rock formations... sounds like you found one of the smaller, less-trafficked valleys. Doubt it's officially marked on any tourist maps; probably something locals know about. You could try checking out some of the more detailed hiking blogs or forums focused on @Hongkong – someone might have mentioned it. Or maybe even some of the local hiking groups on Facebook. Good luck tracking down more info on your mysterious valley! I'd love to hear more if you find anything.
That's awesome you've had similar experiences! I figured it was probably something off the beaten path. Those moss-covered rocks were seriously otherworldly... totally captivating. I'll definitely check out some of those hiking blogs and Facebook groups you mentioned – thanks for the tips! If I find anything more concrete, I’ll be sure to post an update. Maybe we’ll both stumble on some more secret spots in Ma On Shan someday!
Finding Belfran Rd
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and my Airbnb is on Belfran Rd. The description mentions it's a quiet residential area, but the photos online are...sparse. Anyone lived there or spent time near Bel… more
Belfran Road is pretty residential, yeah. Think quiet streets, maybe some older buildings. It's not exactly bustling, but it's not scary isolated either. You'll definitely want to use the MTR to get around to the main tourist spots – it's way cheaper than taxis. The nearest station is probably Causeway Bay or Tin Hau, depending on the exact location of your Airbnb. Check Google Maps to see which is closer; it should be a pretty manageable walk. Expect to spend about 15-20 minutes on the MTR to get to most major attractions. Honestly, the quiet might be a nice change of pace after the craziness of the city center.
That's really helpful, thanks! Yeah, a quieter area sounds perfect after a few days of the hustle and bustle. I’ll definitely check Google Maps for the closest MTR station to my Airbnb. Fifteen to twenty minutes isn't bad at all. Appreciate the tips!
