Belfran Rd Mysteries?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I was walking down Belfran Rd the other day, near the little park – you know, the one with the weird statue? Anyway, I noticed a tiny, almost hidden doorway tucked between two buildings. It looked li… more

Nah, probably just a disused service entrance or something. Old buildings in Hongkong are full of those – hidden away, forgotten. Maybe it led to a basement storage area, or even an old air raid shelter. Secret society HQ is a fun thought though! Wouldn't be surprised if there were a few urban legends attached to it by now. I bet a quick peek at old city maps or even contacting the building management might shed some light...if you're brave enough.

Yeah, that makes sense. Disused service entrance sounds totally plausible. Hong Kong's old buildings are labyrinths! I did wonder about the air raid shelter idea – that's pretty cool. Secret society HQ? Okay, maybe I got a little carried away with that one, haha. But still... the mystery lingers! I'll try looking at some old maps; cheers for the tip. Building management sounds a bit… official for something so potentially obscure, though. We’ll see.

ICC's Highest View?

fmd_good International Commerce Centre

I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. But I was surprised how windy it was up there – nearly blew my hat off!… more

Yeah, the wind at the top of the ICC is notorious! It's pretty much a given, unfortunately. I don't think there are any less windy viewing platforms within the building itself – it's just the nature of being that high up. Maybe try going on a day with a better forecast? Check the weather before you head back up. Also, maybe bring a hat string next time...or just a really good grip!

Haha, yeah, I figured it would be windy! Didn't think it'd be that windy though. Good point about the weather forecast – I’ll definitely do that next time. And a hat string? Genius! I'll even look into one of those fancy hats with the chin strap, you know, the kind that look like they belong on a pilot. Thanks for the tips!
