Hiking Ma On Shan
So I finally tackled the Lion Rock section of Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. The views were incredible, seriously breathtaking. But I got totally lost trying to find the supposedly hidden wat… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan can be a proper maze! I've been there a few times, and honestly, even with a map, I still managed to end up somewhere completely unexpected. The trails aren't always well-marked, and some sections are... overgrown, to put it mildly. That waterfall's a legend, I swear. I've heard whispers of it for years, but never actually found it. My advice? Go with someone who knows the area, or stick to the main paths unless your a serious hiker and prepared to get a little... lost. Seriously though, the views from Lion Rock alone make it worth it. Maybe the waterfall is just a myth perpetuated by bored hikers. Just kidding (sort of).
Haha, yeah, I figured it would be a bit of a challenge! Overgrown sounds about right, I've seen pictures. A waterfall sounds amazing though... maybe I'll just stick to the main paths this time then, and focus on the Lion Rock views. Thanks for the heads-up, saved me a potentially frustrating experience. Maybe the waterfall's a real thing but requires some seriously dedicated bushwhacking skills. I'll probably leave that for another day, maybe when I'm feeling more adventurous (and better prepared!).
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
