Trends in Hong Kong
Ma On Shan Mystery?
So I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, absolutely stunning views! But I stumbled across this weird little stone structure halfway up – looked ancient, almost like a tiny shrine, but nothin… more
That's wild! Ma On Shan's got a lot of hidden nooks and crannies, so an unlisted structure isn't that surprising. Lots of old trails and forgotten things get swallowed by the jungle. Maybe it's a remnant of some long-gone village or even a temporary shelter built by hikers long ago. It's a shame your pics didn't turn up anything – maybe try posting them on a local Facebook group or a Hong Kong hiking forum? Someone there might recognize it. You could also try searching in Cantonese; you might have more luck that way. The online info is often incomplete for these kinds of things.
Yeah, that's a good point about the local groups. I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely try posting the pics there – fingers crossed someone knows something. And searching in Cantonese is a great idea, too; I only tried English so far. It's kinda frustrating, though, because the mystery is driving me nuts! I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what it could be. It was seriously creepy, but also kinda fascinating at the same time. Maybe I'll even try looking at some old maps of the area... Thanks for the suggestions!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
