Ma On Shan Mystery
So, I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. Absolutely stunning views, especially from the top. I even saw some really cool birds – seriously, they were vibrant! But I found this weird, almost… more
Sounds wild! Ma On Shan's got some serious history tucked away. Maybe it's a forgotten boundary marker, or even a remnant of some old folk tale or ritual site. There's a lot of that kind of thing still around in the more remote parts of the park, things that just don't get written about much. Could be worth checking out some local history forums or maybe even contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department – they might have some archives on unusual finds in the park. Failing that, Google Image searching similar carvings might turn up something... you never know.
That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought about contacting the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department. Local history forums are a good shout too – I'll see what I can dig up there. The Google Images idea is pretty smart, I should of thought of that myself. Thanks for the help! I’ll let you know if I find anything interesting... fingers crossed!
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more
It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
