Depends entirely on which side of the building your room is on, and what time of year it is. I stayed there a couple years back and it was surprisingly peaceful – facing away from the street. But I also know folks who had a rougher go of it due to street noise. If you're a real light sleeper, earplugs are probably a good idea. Might even email the lodge directly; they're usually pretty responsive to those kinds of queries. Good luck with your trip!

My ah ma used to tell me the same stories! Giant koi, bigger than your head... I’ve lived near Nam Cheong Park my whole life and never found it. Honestly, I think it's one of those Hong Kong legends – like the ghost stories they tell about the old abandoned buildings. Great for keeping kids in line, though. Maybe your grandpa embellished a bit? Or maybe it's hidden really well... I'll keep my eyes peeled next time I'm there, though. Good luck!
