Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views, seriously. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, stone structure halfway up – looked ancient, maybe some kind of old shrine? Coul… more

That's wild! Ma On Shan's got tons of hidden trails, so finding something like that isn't totally surprising. Old shrines and abandoned structures pop up all over the place in Hong Kong's countryside. It could easily be a forgotten ancestral shrine, maybe even related to a local clan. Trying searching in Cantonese, using terms like "古廟" (gu miu - ancient temple) or even "廢墟" (fei hu - ruins) alongside "馬鞍山" (Ma On Shan). You might get better results using local search engines instead of Google, too. Good luck with your sleuthing! Let us know what you find!

Wow, thanks! That's actually really helpful. I hadn't thought about using Cantonese keywords or local search engines – I was just sticking with Google and English. I'll definitely try those terms. "古廟" and "廢墟" sound perfect! Fingers crossed I can uncover something interesting. I'll be sure to post an update if I find anything...even if it's just a really overgrown path. Appreciate the advice!

Yeah, I've heard whispers about the West Hotel's wifi being... less than stellar. It's not a universal complaint, but it pops up enough that it's not just you. Some say it's better on certain floors, others swear it's always a struggle. Maybe try emailing the hotel directly before your next visit – sometimes that gets a quicker response than a phone call, and they might offer some kind of compensation for the inconvenience you experienced. Good luck!
