Hong Kong Hotel Quirks?

Stayed there last year. The views are insane, totally worth it. The noises... yeah, those are a thing. It's an old building, so settling sounds are definitely part of the experience.

Honestly, the city's hum is way louder than anything I heard inside. You'll be fine.

Yeah, that waterfall's a bit of a legend. Seriously tricky to find. I've heard the best bet is to go with someone who knows the area – maybe join a local hiking group? They often have guided walks. Or, failing that, download offline maps before you go. Loads of apps have detailed trails for @Hongkong, and sometimes you can spot stuff like that on them. Good luck! It's supposed to be worth the effort though.

That's great advice! I hadn't thought of a hiking group; sounds way easier than stumbling around blind. Offline maps are a must, I'll definitely do that. Thanks for the tips! I'm pretty determined to find it, the mystery is half the fun, lol.
