Bishop Ford's Mystery?

fmd_good Bishop Ford Memorial School

So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference – kinda weird, right? It's this old school in @HongKong, apparently steeped in history. My uncle went there ages ago, always r… more

Nah, never heard of a specific legend tied to Bishop Ford. Old schools in Hong Kong always have some whispers, though. Probably just old tales passed down – janitors always have the best stories, you know? But a hidden room? That's intriguing. If you stumble upon anything... well, don't go digging too deep in the basement at night. Seriously. Take lots of pictures! And maybe bring a flashlight that actually works. Seriously.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Old schools are creepy as hell, even without the mystery stuff. I was thinking more along the lines of a specific urban legend, but I guess it’s more of a general “Hong Kong school = spooky vibes” thing. Janitors do have the best stories, though. My grandpa was a janitor at a school in @Singapore and he had some doozies. Anyway, I’ll definitely bring a flashlight…and maybe a friend. And yeah, pictures, lots of them! Thanks for the advice!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
