Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. It's this kinda quiet, tucked-away place, not exactly in the thick of things. Everything was spotless, the staff were lovely...but I… more

Old buildings in Hong Kong? That's practically a guarantee of weird noises. Pipes, rats, maybe even some leftover spirits from a previous tenant! I wouldn't worry too much unless it starts getting really loud, or you start seeing things...then maybe pack your bags. Seriously though, Hong Kong is old, and old buildings make noises. It's part of the charm...or the horror, depending on your perspective.

Yeah, I figured it was probably just old building stuff. It's more the timing of the noises that's freaking me out. Always seems to be late at night, right when I'm trying to sleep. Plus, it's not just creaks and groans, it's...other things. Like muffled whispers sometimes. I'm starting to think I should have booked a hotel instead. Maybe I'm overreacting, but I'm not exactly known for my bravery. I'll try to tough it out for a couple more nights, but if it continues, I'm outta there.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

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.
