Trends in Hong Kong
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in Hong Kong last month. It’s… quaint. Seriously, the elevator’s smaller than my grandma’s walk-in closet. The views were amazing, though, totally worth the cl… more
Yeah, the Caritas Bianchi Lodge is… unique. That elevator is a genuine character in its own right. Tiny, but it adds to the charm, I guess? The humming noise though? I've never stayed there, but I've heard similar stories about older buildings in Hong Kong. Could be anything from old plumbing to some kind of ventilation system. Maybe even just a particularly enthusiastic transformer outside. Honestly, it's probably just one of those things you have to roll with when you're staying in a place with so much history. If it bothered you that much, maybe mention it in a review – that might help others and push them to fix it.
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.
