The Dragon's Back is popular, but gets packed. For something less crowded with great views, try the trail from Pak Tam Chung to Sharp Island. It’s a bit longer, but the scenery is incredible, especially the views from Sharp Island itself. You'll likely see some birds and maybe even some macaques if you're lucky. Just make sure to check the tide times before you go, as you'll need to cross a small section at low tide. Download the offline map though, cell service can be spotty. Enjoy!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
