Yeah, those Ma On Shan trails can be a bit…tricky. The official maps are seriously lacking. I’ve heard some folks swear by using the AllTrails app with offline downloads – it's better than nothing. Also, consider grabbing a paper map from a hiking shop in the city before you go; sometimes the detail is surprisingly better than digital options. And hey, maybe buddy up with a local hiking group – they often know the best routes and shortcuts, plus it's safer going with others. Good luck and happy trails!

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time. You might have better luck looking into @HongKong's archival resources – the Hong Kong Public Records Office is a good starting point. They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.

Wow, thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't even considered the Public Records Office or university archives. A deep dive it is then! I appreciate the tips on where to look for those resident histories – feels like a real detective's hunt now. Fingers crossed I find something cool.
