West Hotel Mystery?

fmd_good West Hotel

So, I stayed at the West Hotel last week – seriously opulent place, right in the heart of things. The staff were amazing, the view incredible... but I swear I heard something weird at night. Like...… more

Nah, no ghost stories I know of connected to the West Hotel. Hong Kong's got plenty of spooky legends, though, mostly tied to old buildings and abandoned places in the more... rustic parts of the islands. Sounds like you just had a particularly noisy night. Maybe a plumbing issue? Rats are surprisingly good at making unsettling sounds. Or, you know, maybe it was just the city sounds amplifying a bit in the hotel. I’ve stayed in places with thinner walls that magnified every little creak and groan. It wouldn't be unheard of for a high-end hotel to have some quirks.

Yeah, you're probably right. It was weird, though. Definitely wasn't rats – I'm pretty sure I'd have seen them. The noises were… more like shifting furniture? Or something being dragged across the floor. But fleeting. Like, a quick scratch and then silence. I'll chalk it up to old building sounds, I guess. Thanks!

ICC's Highest Restaurant?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

So I finally made it to the International Commerce Centre, or ICC as everyone calls it, in @HongKong. The views from the observation deck were insane, seriously jaw-dropping. But I was kinda bummed –… more

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
