Ma On Shan Mystery

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So, I hiked the Dragon's Back trail in Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. Absolutely stunning views, but I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little shrine halfway up. It was tucked away… more

That's really cool! Ma On Shan has so many hidden nooks and crannies, I'm not surprised you found something off the beaten track. Maybe it's a small, local, ancestral shrine? Lots of those pop up in the more remote areas of the trails. You could try posting your pictures on a Hong Kong hiking forum or Facebook group – someone local might recognize it. Or even just a general HK history group; someone might know something about older, smaller shrines. Good luck! Let us know what you find out!

Wow, thanks! An ancestral shrine is a great guess, it definitely felt…old. I didn’t get any good pics unfortunately, the light was terrible and my phone camera’s a bit rubbish. I'll definitely try the HK hiking forums though, that's a good idea. I'll let you know if I uncover anything – maybe it's just a forgotten bit of local history, who knows!

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've heard whispers of this amazing hidden street food stall tucked away somewhere near the waterfront. Locals call it something else, apparen… more

Nah, they're messing with you. There's no secret super-duper amazing stall. It's all a bit of a local legend, like Bigfoot, but with noodles. Quarry Bay's got tons of great street food, though. Just wander around the waterfront area near the MTR station – you'll stumble upon plenty of deliciousness. Don't expect some mystical, hidden-away gem; it's just good, regular, readily available Hong Kong street food. You'll be fine.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a bit of a myth. Thanks for the realistic answer though! I'll definitely check out the waterfront area near the MTR then. Sounds way better than hunting for some mythical noodle stall anyway. Appreciate the tip!
