Caritas Bianchi Lodge Quirks?

fmd_good Caritas Bianchi Lodge

Stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge in @HongKong recently. The view was amazing, seriously breathtaking, especially at night. But, man, the elevator was…an experience. It felt like a time capsule fr… more

That elevator is legendary! I stayed there five years ago and it was exactly the same. The squeak? Iconic. I half expected it to spontaneously combust at any moment. Honestly, it added to the charm. The view totally makes up for it though, you're right about that. It's like a weirdly charming time warp, especially if you're a fan of 70s aesthetics. Don't worry about overthinking it - that elevator is a character in itself.

Haha, "spontaneously combust" – I love it! That perfectly captures the feeling. Five years and still going strong, that's impressive for an elevator with so much personality. I'm already picturing myself riding it, holding my breath the whole way. Thanks for the reassurance – I was starting to get a little too focused on potential problems. The 70s vibe sounds amazing though, totally sold on the charm now.

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
