Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?
So I stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong last month. Gorgeous views, amazing staff...but the strangest thing happened. One night, I heard this faint, almost melodic humming coming from… more
Pipes in old buildings in @HongKong can make the weirdest noises. Seriously, the plumbing systems there are...ancient, to put it mildly.

You could also try searching online for historical maps of the area; comparing them to Google Maps might reveal some interesting discrepancies. Good luck with your historical detective work!
