Belfran Rd Mystery?
So I'm walking down Belfran Rd, right? It's this quiet residential street, pretty unremarkable really, except for this one house. Number 27, I think. It's always got these… strange lights on at nigh… more
Sounds creepy! Number 27 Belfran Rd, huh? I've lived in this area for years and haven't heard anything about that house specifically. Maybe it's an artist's studio with some intense lighting setups? Or maybe some kind of...enthusiast club? I wouldn't jump to conclusions about ghosts or anything, but yeah, flickering coloured lights are a bit unusual. Have you tried just...walking past during the day? See if anything looks different in broad daylight. You could also check the land registry records online to see who owns it, though that might not reveal much.
Good point about checking the land registry – hadn’t thought of that. It's not exactly flickering colored lights, more like… intense, single-color washes. Almost like a projector, but way too bright for that. I did walk past during the day; it's just a normal-looking house, a bit old maybe. Nothing outwardly strange. The enthusiast club idea is intriguing though… what kind of club would need that much lighting?! Maybe some kind of…photography thing? Or, like you said, some art project. Still weird, though. Makes me want to peek in the windows sometime... cautiously, of course.
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!
