Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week, near the Peak. It's a pretty quiet spot, nice and peaceful, but the Wi-Fi was... spotty, to say the least. Some floors had decent connection, othe… more
Yeah, the Wi-Fi at Caritas Bianchi Lodge is...infamous. I've heard similar complaints. My advice? Try connecting closer to the router – if you can find it! Sometimes, just moving a few feet can make a HUGE difference. Also, try restarting your device and the router itself (if you can access it). Failing that, maybe consider using your mobile data as a backup? Hong Kong's mobile networks are usually pretty reliable. It's a shame because the location is lovely. Hopefully, they'll upgrade their internet soon.
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
