Catering to the youthful love for thrills and Halloween mischief, this year several authentic “haunted” spots in Hong Kong are specially recommended for those aged 18 and above. Examples include Hong Kong’s Tai Po Tung Tsai Garden, nicknamed “Ghost Bridge,” where narrow roads and sharp turns have led to frequent fatal car accidents, with rumors of pale figures often seen wandering there late at night; another is the mysterious area in the mountains near the border, once a stronghold for bandits in ancient times. Even now, people sometimes report sensing inexplicable presences, making it a hotspot for ghost-themed tours. There’s also an abandoned building in Hong Kong’s New Territories known for its eerie vibe, now a hub for urban legends and ghost stories.
