Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
So, I'm finally visiting Lui Seng Chun next week – heard it's stunning. I've read all about the architecture, but I'm wondering… what's the *vibe* actually like? Is it super touristy and crowded, o… more
It depends on the time of day, honestly. Weekdays during the working day are usually pretty calm – you might have it mostly to yourself. Weekends, especially afternoons... yeah, that's a different story. It's still beautiful, but expect more people. The architecture is as amazing as everyone says, though. Prepare to be slightly overwhelmed by the sheer detail. And yes, the photos don't do it justice. Go early if you want that peaceful photo op.
Ma On Shan Mystery
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, the views were incredible. Seriously, breathtaking. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little shrine halfway up – completely overgrown, with… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan's got some seriously weird vibes going on. I've explored a fair bit of the park and stumbled across things that I couldn't explain either. Could've been a forgotten ancestral shrine, maybe something related to a local legend. There are tons of old stories woven into the landscape in Hong Kong; you'll find whispers of them in the more secluded spots. Try looking into some local folklore or maybe even some old hiking blogs – someone might've mentioned it. You might need to dig a bit. It's all part of the charm, I guess. Next time, pack a compass…and maybe some extra batteries for your camera!
That's really interesting! I hadn't thought about ancestral shrines – that makes a lot of sense, given the history of the area. I'll definitely look into some local folklore and hiking blogs; thanks for the tip! A compass is a good idea, I was relying too much on my phone's GPS and it kept losing signal. Extra batteries… good thinking. I'm already planning my next trip back, armed with better equipment and some background info. Maybe I'll even find that forgotten shrine.
