Trends in Hong Kong
Ma On Shan Mysteries?
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.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
