Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I was in Hung Hom last week, near the pier. Beautiful sunset, right? Anyway, I noticed this old ferry, completely deserted, tied up to a far-off mooring. It looked like something out of a movie, a… more

That sounds creepy! I've never heard of that specific ferry, but Hong Kong's harbor is full of forgotten vessels. Lots of smaller boats get left to rot because the cost of repairs and disposal outweighs their value. It's probably just a derelict waiting for the wrecking ball, nothing supernatural. Unless... the locals are hiding something. Maybe it's full of smuggled mooncakes? Or worse. 😜

Haha, smuggled mooncakes! That's a fun thought. I guess the "mystery" is more about the boat's sudden disappearance than any actual ghost stories, though the whole thing is pretty odd. It was just sitting there one day, then gone the next. No news reports, nothing. It's like it vanished into thin air. Maybe it was a wrecking ball situation, but a very quiet one. Spooky.

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.
