Caritas Bianchi Lodge: Noise Levels?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong in a few months and booked a stay at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge because the reviews seemed decent enough and it's in a pretty convenient location. I'm a light sleep… more

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!

That's really helpful, thanks! Facing away from the street sounds ideal. I'll definitely look into emailing them beforehand – much better than showing up and dealing with unexpected noise. Earplugs are a great tip too, I always travel with a pair anyway. Appreciate the advice!

Nam Cheong Park Mystery?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

I was in Nam Cheong Park last week, trying to find that rumored hidden koi pond everyone talks about. My grandpa used to tell me stories about it – giant fish, shimmering scales, the whole shebang.… more

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!
