Ma On Shan Mystery
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, and honestly, the views were incredible. Seriously stunning. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little shrine halfway up – completely overgrow… more
That's awesome you found something so intriguing! Ma On Shan's got a lot of hidden history, it's not all just hiking trails. Lots of small, forgotten shrines and temples dot the countryside around Hong Kong. Sounds like you found one of them. Maybe try asking around some of the villages near the park entrance? Older folks there might know local folklore or family stories linked to that spot. You could also try posting your pictures on a Hong Kong history Facebook group or forum – someone might recognize it. Good luck with your search! It's definitely worth the effort to uncover the mystery.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Yeah, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak's views are totally worth the struggle, though. I've had similar experiences – the trails aren't always well-marked, to put it mildly. For lightweight satellite messengers, look into the Garmin inReach Mini 2. It's small, pretty durable, and the battery life is decent. Also, before your next trip, download offline maps onto your phone using something like Gaia GPS or Maps.me. That way, even if your phone dies, you'll still have the map accessible. Seriously, an offline map saved my bacon once in the Lantau mountains. You don't wanna be relying solely on your phone out there.
