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!

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
