Ma On Shan Mystery?
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, and it was stunning! The views from the top were incredible, seriously breathtaking. I even saw some kinda wild monkey, though I couldn't get a good photo… more
Those little shrines are likely dedicated to various deities or ancestral spirits. Many are quite old, some dating back centuries, and they're a common sight in Hong Kong's countryside. You won't usually find official documentation on every single one – they're often maintained by local families or villages, more a matter of personal devotion than organized religion. Think of them as small, personal memorials or places of prayer, scattered throughout the trails. There's a lot of folk belief woven into the landscape there. Next time, maybe try to notice any offerings left; that might give you a clue to which deity or spirit is being honored. It's all part of the magic of Ma On Shan!
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.
