Trends in Hong Kong
Bishop Ford Mystery?
So I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a conference – it's kinda weirdly close to a bunch of abandoned buildings, which is giving me the creeps. Anyone know any local legends or… more
Yeah, that area around Bishop Ford Memorial School in Hong Kong can be a bit… atmospheric. I haven't heard of a phantom librarian specifically, but there are definitely some old stories floating around about that part of town. Think more along the lines of general restless spirits, things going bump in the night type stuff. Nothing too specific, unfortunately. More of a general feeling than concrete legends, you know? As for coffee, there's a decent little place called "The Daily Grind" a short walk from the school. Not fancy, but good strong brew and reliable wifi – which is always a bonus at conferences. They also have some pretty amazing pastries. Hope your conference goes well, and try not to let the spooky vibes get to you too much!
That's really interesting! Restless spirits, huh? I kinda figured it was more than just one specific ghost story. Thanks for the coffee rec, "The Daily Grind" sounds perfect – strong coffee and wifi are essential for surviving a conference. Pastries are a definite plus! I'll try not to get too spooked, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for anything… unusual.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
