This is one of the strangest staircases Alice has ever seen. It is next to a highway intersection in Shek Kip Mei. You can walk up the steps from either side and then there seems to be another short set of stairs leading upward. After about 10 steps, you will run into a concrete wall! There is no sign of any door. There is no sign of a passage leading anywhere. What's the point of the steps then?
There are a lot of rumors about funny empty and pointless steps in Hong Kong, especially in the rural areas. If you see a set of steps that don't really lead to anywhere, don't go that direction. Some steps were laid down by villagers to confuse the restless lost souls. If you walk on the steps, you may become one as well!
