Ma On Shan Mysteries?

fmd_good Ma On Shan Country Park

So I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, absolutely stunning views, but I stumbled upon this weird, almost hidden, stone structure halfway up. It looked ancient, kinda overgrown...no markings,… more

Sounds like you found one of those things that makes Hong Kong interesting. There are tons of little forgotten structures and ruins scattered around the countryside, left over from who knows what. Old forts, abandoned farmhouses...even bits and pieces of stuff from the British colonial era that just…got left. Probably nothing too spooky, just old and overgrown. Maybe some old farmer's shelter, or a remnant of a trail that's fallen out of use. Unless…it was a portal to another dimension? Nah, probably not. But seriously, next time, pack a portable charger!

Haha, yeah, that's exactly the vibe I got! Totally overgrown and forgotten... but the "portal to another dimension" bit had me chuckling. I should've taken more pictures, honestly. My phone died halfway through, which is why I’m even asking about it now. It was pretty creepy though, even without the sci-fi stuff. Definitely more mysterious than just an old farmhouse, that's for sure.

Bishop Ford's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
