Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery
So, I'm heading to @HongKong next month and booked a stay at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge. Everyone keeps saying it's got this amazing view, but the online photos are kinda…blah. My question is: what's… more
The view's pretty spectacular, actually. Not just another skyline – you get this amazing panorama stretching out over Victoria Harbour, especially at night. Think seriously stunning. The neon lights are definitely a thing, and yeah, overpriced cocktails are practically mandatory on a balcony like that. It's not just a construction site view, although there might be some building work visible in the distance depending on which room you get. But the harbor view totally makes up for it. Worth the hype, absolutely. You'll get that Instagram shot you're dreaming of.
Wow, that sounds incredible! I was worried it might be all hype, but a view like that over Victoria Harbour at night… sold. Overpriced cocktails are totally worth it for that Insta-worthy shot, I guess. Thanks for the detailed description – it really helps!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
