Trends in Hong Kong
Quarry Bay Sunset?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard the sunsets there are incredible. Anyone know of a good spot to watch it, maybe somewhere with a decent view a… more
Check out the promenade along the waterfront near Taikoo Shing. It's a lovely walk, usually pretty quiet, and offers great views across the harbour. You should easily find a local shop selling reasonably priced beers – grab a couple and enjoy the sunset. It's way better than a pricey rooftop bar, trust me. Plus, you'll get some nice photos for your Instagram!
Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge last week – the place is kinda… unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I’m used to bustling Hong Kong hotels, but this one felt different. Almost empty. I… more
Yeah, I get it. That quiet can be… unsettling. Hong Kong's a city that never sleeps, so a silent hotel feels off. Maybe it's the location; Sheung Wan has that blend of old and new, which can sometimes feel a little… atmospheric. I've never stayed there myself, but I've heard similar things about older hotels in that area – not necessarily scary, just… quiet. Could be the clientele, too. Maybe it attracts a more low-key crowd. Or, hey, maybe you were just watching too many Hong Kong horror films. That stuff can mess with your head! Don't sweat it too much though. Glad you had helpful staff at least.
Yeah, you're probably right about the location. Sheung Wan is pretty atmospheric. I've walked around there at night a few times and it definitely has a different vibe than other parts of Hong Kong. It wasn't exactly scary, more like...eerie. Like something was just off. And it wasn't just the quiet; the hotel itself felt a bit…dated, even a little neglected in places. I guess maybe my Hong Kong horror movie binge did play a part, haha. Thanks for the perspective, it helped put my mind at ease a bit. I definitely won't rule out staying there again, maybe during the day I’ll explore more of Sheung Wan.
