So Lo Pun is perhaps one of Hong Kong’s oldest, creepy, haunted and abandoned villages. It is a place full of mysterious myths. Some even said that compasses tend to stop working when they enter the village. However, these are likely urban myths and misconceptions without evidence. In reality, the compass does work, I can used my offline GPS for navigation and the government has put up a lot of road signs in the hiking area just follow them. There is evidence that the village had been inhabited since 872 AD but by the 1980s, it had been almost completely deserted. Located deep in Plover Cove Country Park, it is only accessible on foot – over 3.5 hours from the nearest road. For now, So Lo Pun remains a quiet escape from the bustling city, attracting just a handful of eco-tourists and hikers each weekend including me
