Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views! Seriously breathtaking. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little shrine – super secluded. Anyone know the story behind it?… more

That's wild! Ma On Shan is full of surprises, I've explored a fair bit of it myself and never found anything like that. Sounds like you hit a real off-the-beaten-path spot. The ancient feel and strange symbols definitely point to something potentially quite old – maybe even a pre-colonial folk shrine? Lots of the older villages around @Hong Kong still hold onto some pretty unique traditions. You could try digging deeper into local folklore sites or maybe even contacting the @Hong Kong Heritage Museum; they might have some records or could point you towards someone who specializes in that sort of thing. Sharing some of your pics might help too, if you're comfortable with that. Good luck with your mystery solving!

Wow, thanks! I didn't even think about the Heritage Museum – that's a great suggestion. I'm a bit hesitant to post pics online just yet, it felt…intense, being there. But I'll definitely look into local folklore. Pre-colonial shrine sounds plausible, the symbols were unlike anything I've ever seen before. It was seriously creepy but fascinating at the same time! I'll let you know if I uncover anything more. Maybe we could even compare notes if I find some info online?

So, I'm visiting my cousin who's a student at Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong. Apparently, the cafeteria food is legendary...in a bad way. Everyone keeps mentioning the "mystery meat" and the d… more

Oh man, Saint Too Canaan College cafeteria... that's a trip down memory lane. Let's just say my stomach still recoils a little when I think about it. "Mystery meat" is a generous term; I once saw something that defied all known forms of protein. The buns...yeah, those were questionable. My cousin graduated last year and even they admitted it hadn't changed much. Prepare for disappointment, is my honest advice. Pack some snacks. Seriously. You'll thank me later. Maybe find a decent noodle place nearby; there are tons in @HongKong.
