Sounds like you found one of those forgotten spots Hong Kong is full of! Ma On Shan has a ton of history, so an old pavilion with odd carvings isn't entirely surprising. It's probably not some major historical site, more likely just an old resting spot that fell into disrepair. The lack of trail markers in that area is pretty common, sadly. Lots of unofficial paths spring up, and maintenance doesn't always keep up. Next time, maybe download a detailed offline map before you go - that'll save you from future creepy encounters (or at least help you find your way back!).

Or, head there super early in the morning before the crowds arrive. That's usually when I find the most peaceful spots in any park. The early bird gets the worm, and the quiet park, I guess!
