Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week, it's this kinda quiet place tucked away in the hills. Really peaceful, great views. The thing is, I swear I heard someone humming a really old Ca… more
Hong Kong is full of surprises, isn't it? That's a pretty cool story about the Caritas Bianchi Lodge. I've never stayed there, but old Cantonese opera tunes echoing through the hills… that's seriously atmospheric. Maybe it was just a really good speaker system from a nearby building, but the "only one on the floor" bit adds a nice touch of mystery. Sounds like a great memory, even if a slightly unsettling one. Hopefully, you didn’t see any ghosts though... lol.
Yeah, Hong Kong is full of surprises. It’s crazy how much history and weirdness is packed into such a small place. The opera thing…I’m still not sure what it was. A really powerful speaker system is the most logical explanation, I guess. But that feeling of being alone on the floor, with that music…it was definitely something. No ghosts, thankfully, just…weird vibes. Made for a memorable trip though, even if it was a little unnerving!
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!
