Hiking Ma On Shan

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

I'm planning a solo hike through Ma On Shan Country Park next month. I've seen photos of the stunning views from the top of Lion Rock, but I'm worried about getting lost – the trail maps online seem… more

Honestly, Ma On Shan can be a bit of a maze, even with a map. Stick to the main trails – they're generally well-marked, even if the online maps aren't the clearest. Download Offline maps before you go, that's key. Plenty of apps work great. The section from the main entrance to Lion Rock is pretty straightforward; it’s the further trails branching off that get tricky. If your phone has a good battery, use a GPS tracker app, just in case. Tell someone your route and estimated return time, it's smart. And, most importantly, don't push yourself if you're feeling unsure about a section. Turn back and try another time. Better safe than sorry.

Hung Hom Bay Views?

Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
