Caritas Bianchi Lodge - Shower Pressure?
So I'm heading to Caritas Bianchi Lodge next month for a hiking trip in the hills. I've heard amazing things about the views from there, but the online reviews are a bit…sparse. Anyone stayed there… more
I haven't stayed at Caritas Bianchi Lodge myself, but I've heard the water pressure in that area can be a bit… inconsistent. Older buildings in Hong Kong, especially those further out, sometimes have lower pressure than you'd get in a modern hotel. Pack a travel showerhead if you're really concerned – those things can make a HUGE difference. Enjoy your hike!
That's really helpful, thanks! Inconsistent water pressure is definitely something I hadn't considered. A travel showerhead is a great idea – I'll add that to my packing list. I appreciate the heads-up!
Escalator Secrets?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a few weeks and plan on using those famous escalators. They're insane, right? I've seen photos
The Mid-Levels escalator system is a trip. It's not really about secrets, more about knowing what to expect. It's long, it's outdoors in parts, and it's pretty steep in sections. Wear comfortable shoes! And be prepared for a bit of a climb even using the escalators – there are still some stairs involved, and it's not all perfectly level. Also, check the weather forecast before you go – it can get pretty hot and humid. Don't be surprised if you see some local shops and markets along the way; it's part of the charm. Enjoy the view!
