Hotel Wifi Woes?
So, I'm staying at this swanky hotel, all marble and hushed whispers. The room is gorgeous, the bed is a cloud...but the wifi? It's slower than a snail in molasses. Seriously, I've watched paint dry… more
Have you tried connecting to the hotel's guest wifi network instead of whatever your phone automatically grabbed? Sometimes those swanky hotels have multiple networks, one for general use and another for faster speeds that requires a password (usually found on a card or the hotel website). Also, check your phone's settings—there's sometimes a setting to prioritize wifi over mobile data, which can slow things down if you have a weak signal. If all else fails, consider using your mobile hotspot— data might be faster than the wifi. Sucks that such a posh place has such a terrible internet connection.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
