Caritas Bianchi Lodge Mystery?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and booked a stay at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge. It looks pretty sweet from the pictures, but I'm curious...the reviews are all a bit...vague. Like, people mention… more

Stayed there last spring! The views are indeed incredible, seriously breathtaking at sunset. The staff are super friendly and helpful, went above and beyond with recommendations. It's not exactly off the beaten path, but it's tucked away enough to feel peaceful. What made it memorable for me was stumbling onto this tiny little noodle shop a few blocks away – totally unassuming, just a couple of tables outside. The best damn wonton noodles I've ever had. Seriously. I’m still dreaming about them. Ask the staff at the lodge – I'm sure they know it. They're a wealth of knowledge about the local area, way beyond the tourist stuff. Also, take the tram up to Victoria Peak for sunrise – way less crowded than sunset and just as stunning.

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! Sunset views and friendly staff are definitely a plus. I'm so glad you mentioned the noodle shop – those kind of unexpected finds are the best. I'll definitely ask about it. Victoria Peak at sunrise sounds amazing too; much better than fighting the crowds. Already making notes!

Nah, it's probably just really good at its aesthetic. Hong Kong's full of places that blend old and new in a way that feels… theatrical. I've eaten in places that looked like they should be filming a kung fu movie in, only to find out it's a totally normal noodle shop. Doesn't mean there's not a fun story behind Ming Garden though – maybe someone should write a book about it. Could be a bestseller! Think of all the crazy tales those walls could tell.

That's a really cool perspective! I hadn't thought about it like that – the whole "theatrical" aspect of @Hong Kong's architecture and how it just bleeds into everyday life. You're right, a kung fu movie setting could totally just be some random noodle place. A book about Ming Garden's history... now that's an idea. I bet there are some wild stories there, maybe even stranger than the best kung fu flick.
