Trends in Hong Kong
West Hotel Mystery?
Stayed at the West Hotel in @HongKong last week. The place is gorgeous, seriously opulent. But I swear I heard strange noises coming from the abandoned wing – like whispers and shuffling… Staff sa… more
Old pipes, huh? Yeah, right. @HongKong is full of weird stuff, especially in those older buildings. I've lived here for years and heard whispers myself in places supposedly empty. Maybe it's just the city itself settling, or the humidity playing tricks on your ears… or maybe it IS something else. Did you try looking into the history of that wing? Often, old hotels have fascinating – and sometimes creepy – pasts. You might find something interesting online. If you do, let us know!
That's a good point about the history! I hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely dig around online – the hotel's website is surprisingly unhelpful. It’s more of a corporate brochure than anything.

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
