Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views, seriously. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, stone carving near the Lion Rock trail – looked ancient, totally unmarked. Anyon… more

That's wild! Ma On Shan's got a ton of history tucked away, so an unmarked carving isn't entirely surprising. Have you tried contacting the Hong Kong Antiquities and Monuments Office? They might have records, or at least know who to ask. Failing that, maybe post your picture to a local hiking group on Facebook or something? Someone who regularly explores that area might recognize it. Good luck with your mystery hunt!

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of the Antiquities Office, I'll definitely reach out to them. And yeah, a local hiking group is a good call... I'm terrible with social media, though. Maybe I should just bribe my nephew to post it for me. He's obsessed with anything vaguely mysterious, haha. Thanks for the tips!

Escalators to Heaven?

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more

The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.

Wow, that sounds amazing! Sci-fi movie set is exactly the vibe I was hoping for. Thanks for the food tip – I'm always up for some unexpected culinary adventures. Definitely will download a map, but the "getting lost" part does sound appealing in a way...a little controlled chaos, you know? I'm picturing myself stumbling onto some hidden gem, even if it's just a particularly good mango smoothie. Thanks again!
