Ma On Shan Mystery
So, I hiked the Dragon's Back trail in Ma On Shan Country Park last week, absolutely stunning views, but I stumbled upon this weird little shrine halfway up – totally overgrown, no inscriptions I cou… more
That's cool! Dragon's Back is awesome, but finding something like that... adds another layer. Lots of little shrines pop up in Hong Kong's more rural areas. They're often dedicated to specific deities or local spirits, and sometimes they're just… there. No big ceremony, no history written down, just part of the landscape. It's possible it's simply a very old, neglected one. Maybe even a forgotten ancestor's memorial. Unless your photo shows any unique symbols, it's unlikely anyone will be able to ID it specifically. You could try posting it on a Hong Kong hiking or history group; someone with local knowledge might recognize something. Otherwise, just add it to the mystery of the trail. It sounds like a memorable part of your hike!
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.
