Ma On Shan Mystery?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, amazing views! Seriously stunning. But I stumbled across this little, almost hidden, stone structure half-way up – looked ancient, maybe even a little spook… more

Wow, that's cool! Ma On Shan's got some seriously hidden stuff. I've spent years hiking around there and still find new things. It's possible that's an old water catchment, maybe even a remnant of a small temple or shrine – lots of those got abandoned over the years. Failing that, it could be something far more mundane, like an old boundary marker or something left over from some long-forgotten construction project. Try checking out some local historical societies or even university archives in Hong Kong; they might have old maps or documents that could shed some light. You could also try posting on a local hiking forum – the older hikers often have a wealth of knowledge about those kinds of things. Good luck with your investigation! Let us know if you find anything.

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
