Secret Adventure ### 🌄 Attraction Introduction Located in the northern New Territories of Hong Kong, the Lin Ma Hang Mine is a significant lead mining site from World War II. In recent years, it has become a popular spot for adventurers due to its unique industrial ruins. Once the largest lead-zinc mine in Hong Kong, it now features a mysterious network of underground tunnels, with weathered mine shafts and rusted machinery frozen in time. ### 🚩 Highlights of the Trip 1️⃣ **Exploring the Mine Tunnels** Venture into the abandoned mine tunnels that stretch for 200 meters (bring a flashlight). The chisel marks on the rock walls and the minecart tracks are still visible, and in some areas, you can see sparkling mineral crystals. 2️⃣ **Open-Air Sedimentation Pond Ruins** The green wastewater sedimentation ponds contrast sharply with the rust-red mine slag. On sunny days, the water surface reflects the mountain scenery, making it a favorite spot for photographers seeking an apocalyptic vibe. 3️⃣ **Layers of Military History** Above the mine, you can find the MacIntosh Fort (a WWII British military defense structure), allowing you to explore both mining and military history. ### 🧭 Practical Information 📍 **Transportation** - Take a taxi from Fanling Station to Lin Ma Hang Village (about 15 minutes), then follow the signs and hike up the mountain for 40 minutes. - Alternatively, ride a mountain bike from Ta Kwu Ling (passing through Heung Yuen Wai Highway). ⏰ **Recommended Time** - The dry season (November to March) when the mine is drier. - Avoid visiting after rain, as some sections may be flooded. ⚠️ **Safety Tips** - Travel with companions, as some mine tunnels are structurally unstable. - Wear non-slip shoes and long pants, and watch out for loose stones. - Mobile signal is weak, so offline maps are recommended. ### 📸 Photography Tips • Use a wide-angle lens to capture the depth of the tunnels. • Create light and shadow effects with a miner's headlamp. • Capture the mirror-like reflection of the sedimentation pond at sunset. This industrial site, swallowed by vines, attracts adventurers with its unique desolate beauty. Here, you will discover how the struggle between nature and humanity creates stunning ruin aesthetics.
