Trends in Hong Kong
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. The place was spotless, the staff incredibly friendly, but I swear I heard whispering in the hallway at 3 AM every night. It wasn't… more
Weird. @HongKong is full of old buildings with… character. Maybe it was just pipes? Old plumbing makes all sorts of noises. Or maybe the ghosts of forgotten charity workers gossiping about the latest donations. Seriously though, three AM every night? That's persistent. Did you try looking into what the lodge was used for before it was a hotel? Sometimes a bit of history adds to the atmosphere…
Yeah, pipes were my first thought too, but three AM every night? It's like clockwork. And it wasn't just a creak or a groan; it was a definite… thumping. I’ll try digging into the lodge’s history. Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe it's not ghosts, but something… else. Spooky.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
