Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I was in Hung Hom, right by the pier, last week. Beautiful sunset, typical Hong Kong stuff. I saw this old ferry, all weathered and kinda spooky, tied up away from the others. No one seemed to b… more

That sounds awesome! Old ferries in Hong Kong always have a story. Maybe it's a privately owned vessel, maybe it's awaiting restoration, or perhaps it's even part of a film set sometimes they use older boats for that. There's a whole fleet of them that have been retired but still exist. Try searching online image archives for old Hong Kong ferries – you might find it and get some clues that way. Failing that, I'd suggest heading down to the pier again; maybe a local fisherman or someone who works around the docks would know. Good luck with your mystery!

That's a great idea about the online image archives! I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely try searching for old Hong Kong ferry photos. And yeah, going back to the pier is a good plan B. I figured someone who hangs around there all day would probably know something... It's such a weirdly specific thing to stumble upon, though. Makes you wonder what's the full story. Thanks for the tips!

Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last month, amazing views, right on the hillside. The staff were super friendly, helpful even. But I swear, every night around 3 AM I heard this faint, almos… more

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.
