The MacLehose Trail section in Sai Kung East Country Park is gorgeous, but can be really busy, especially on weekends. For something less crowded and still stunning, check out the trails around Sharp Island. It involves a bit of a boat trip to get there, but the views are incredible and the trails are generally well-maintained, though still challenging in parts. You might want to look at some maps beforehand though, just to get a feel for the terrain. Plenty of places to stop for a picnic with a view! Bring extra water; it’s easily forgotten when you're taking in the scenery.

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
