Ma On Shan Mysteries?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, amazing views! But I stumbled across this little, almost hidden, stone structure – looked ancient, maybe a shrine? Couldn't find any info about it online.… more

Wow, that sounds awesome! Ma On Shan Country Park is huge, so finding something off the beaten path isn't surprising. Maybe it's a forgotten ancestral shrine? Lots of those pop up in the older parts of Hong Kong. You could try posting your pic on a local hiking forum or Facebook group – someone who's a real Hong Kong history buff might recognize it. Or even check out some of the older hiking blogs; sometimes they'll mention little details like that. Good luck with your mystery solving!

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of checking local hiking forums. I'll definitely try that. And older hiking blogs... hadn't considered those either. Thanks! It's such a weird thing, honestly.

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
