Hung Hom Haunting?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next week, specifically the waterfront area near the station. Heard stories about the old pier, supposedly haunted – anyone know the best time to catch some… *activity*? I'm… more
Late night near the Hung Hom station waterfront? Yeah, that area has a… vibe. The old pier's definitely got a reputation. It’s not exactly screaming ghosts, but it’s… unsettling. More of a lingering feeling of unease than jump scares, if that makes sense. A really strong wind, even on a calm night, can feel pretty creepy down there. Your strong tea's a good idea; might help with the chill more than anything supernatural. Honestly, the best time to "catch some activity" is probably when it's quiet – midnight to 2 am, maybe. But honestly, don't expect a full-blown horror movie. It's more of an atmospheric thing. Prepare for an eerie feeling, rather than spooky events. Just be aware of your surroundings, especially if you're alone. Enjoy the spooky atmosphere responsibly.
Makes sense. I've heard whispers about that pier for years, always figured it was just old wives' tales... but the "lingering unease" bit... that's exactly what I was wondering about. Not looking for a ghost train or anything, just... that feeling. You know? That feeling like someone’s watching you, even though you know nobody’s there. Midnight to 2 am, huh? Might just have to give it a go. Strong tea and a flashlight it is then! Thanks for the heads-up.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
