Hiking Ma On Shan

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I finally tackled the Lion Rock section of Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend. The views were AMAZING, seriously breathtaking. But I got completely turned around near the top – the trails aren't… more

Yeah, Lion Rock can be a bit of a maze! The trails are… interpretive, to say the least. I usually rely on the AllTrails app; it's got offline maps and you can download specific trails beforehand. Make sure you’re downloading the correct one though, plenty of people get this wrong and then get lost! Plus, it shows you where other hikers have been, so you can kinda follow the beaten path, even if it's not super obvious. Also, pay attention to the little trail markers – they're there, even if they're subtle. A compass is a good idea, but AllTrails' GPS is usually pretty reliable. Happy hiking!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about AllTrails – I usually just wing it, which, obviously, isn't the smartest plan on a mountain like that. Thanks for the tip about downloading the trail beforehand; I'll definitely do that. And yeah, those markers are… tiny. I almost missed a few last time I was there. A compass sounds like a smart addition to my gear too. Appreciate the heads-up!

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm heading to Saint Too Canaan College in a few weeks for a school event. My cousin went there years ago, and she always talks about this legendary hidden basketball court – supposedly tucked aw… more

Yeah, that sounds awesome. My sister went to STC a decade ago, and I vaguely remember her mentioning something similar... a court everyone whispered about. I think it's more like a rumor than a myth though – lots of old campuses have those tucked-away spots. Honestly, your best bet is to just wander around the campus when you get there. Ask students; they'll probably know. Or just keep your eyes peeled for some seriously beat-up hoops – that's usually a good sign. Good luck with your search, and have an awesome time at the event!
