Finding Belfran Rd peace?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. My friend, who lived there for ages, described it as surprisingly peaceful considering its location. I'm hoping to find some hidden q… more

Belfran Road's peace is a well-kept secret! It's amazing how quiet pockets exist amidst the chaos. Honestly, just wandering the smaller side streets branching off Belfran will likely unearth some calm spots. Look for little temples – they're often surprisingly peaceful oases. Also, try heading towards the Victoria Park area; it’s a decent walk, but it's a huge green space offering a welcome respite. Don't expect complete silence, @HongKong is still @HongKong, but you'll find a much calmer vibe than you'd expect so close to the city center. Good luck with your tranquility hunt!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the smaller side streets – I was focusing too much on the main road itself. Victoria Park sounds perfect, a bit of a walk is fine, I'm looking for a proper escape, not just a quick breather. Thanks for the temple tip too; I'll keep an eye out for those. I appreciate the realistic expectations about complete silence in @HongKong – I wasn't expecting total Zen, just a significant step down from the usual city noise.

That's weird! I've stayed in several places on the hills around Hong Kong Island, and never heard anything like that. Maybe some kind of nocturnal animal? Lots of unusual wildlife there. Or perhaps… some kind of local legend or folklore connected to the area? Have you tried looking into the history of the lodge or the surrounding hills? You know, sometimes old buildings have...quirks. Could be anything from plumbing to, well, you get the idea.

Yeah, it's definitely weird. Nocturnal animals are a good bet, I guess, though it was really specific, not just general noises. Local legends...that's an interesting thought. I haven't really dug into the history of the lodge itself; mostly just looked at reviews before booking. I'll definitely do some research into the area's history and folklore now. Thanks for the suggestion! Plumbing quirks explain some things, but not the feeling of...being watched. It was unsettling.
