Ma On Shan Mystery

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, stunning views, seriously. Got completely lost though, despite having the map app. Followed a trail that just…vanished. Ended up stumbling on this tiny, ab… more

That's wild! Ma On Shan's got a ton of hidden trails, some barely used anymore. Sounds like you found one of those. Lots of these older temples in the park have faded into obscurity – locals might not even know their history, let alone share it freely. You'd probably have better luck searching for older hiking blogs or forums dedicated to Hong Kong trails. Some serious hikers keep detailed logs and sometimes uncover old stories. Or maybe try posting in a Hong Kong history subreddit? Could be a fun research project!

That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of looking at older hiking blogs. I figured most of the info would be recent stuff. A Hong Kong history subreddit sounds promising too – I'll definitely give that a shot. Thanks for the tips! It’s kinda creepy though, I'll admit… that feeling of stumbling onto something… forgotten.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
