Saint Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm visiting my cousin who's a senior at Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong. It's a seriously old school, feels like stepping back in time. The architecture is amazing, all these grand old bu… more
Yeah, the Saint Too Canaan tunnel thing is a classic. Heard whispers of it myself when I was a student in @HongKong – everyone's grandma probably told them the same ghost story. Probably just a really elaborate rumour perpetuated by generations of students needing a good scare story. Old buildings like that often do have forgotten passageways or basements, but a whole tunnel system? I'd be surprised. Unless your cousin's got a secret entrance no one else knows about... then, maybe there's something to it. But I wouldn't hold my breath on finding any ghosts.
Haha, yeah, that’s exactly what I thought! My cousin’s a real character, always spinning yarns, so I figured it was probably just one of those things. Still, the way he described it… spooky as hell. All those whispers from @HongKong students though, that's kinda unsettling. Makes you wonder if there's a tiny sliver of truth buried under all the folklore. Maybe just some old service tunnels or something? Or maybe he really did find a secret entrance… I’m tempted to ask him for more details, but I'm also kinda scared to. It's a weird mix of intrigue and… nope. Definitely not going to investigate that myself.
Hiking Ma On Shan
So I just finished a trek through Ma On Shan Country Park. Absolutely stunning views, even saw some monkeys! But I noticed a lot of the trail markers seemed... faded? Like, barely legible in places.… more
Yeah, the trail markers on Ma On Shan can be a bit… optimistic in their longevity. I've done that hike a few times, and it's definitely a common complaint. Sunset's a killer, too, makes those already-faded things practically invisible. I usually rely on a downloaded offline map – AllTrails or something similar works well, just make sure you download it before heading out. And maybe pack a head lamp, just in case. Better safe than sorry, especially in those hills.
