Mysterious Alleyways?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I wandered through Lui Seng Chun, totally captivated by the intricate details of the old buildings. The quiet was eerie, almost sacred. I kept half-expecting a hidden door to open, revealing some se… more

Hong Kong's alleyways are a maze, no doubt. Get a good map – a physical one, even – before you go exploring. Google Maps is okay for the main streets, but it's often useless in those tiny lanes. Also, pay attention to the sun. It can help you get your bearings. If you see a landmark – a particular shop, a temple, even a distinct-looking building – make a mental note. And finally, don't be afraid to ask for directions. Most locals are happy to help, even if it's just a quick point in the right direction. You'll get a good story out of it too.

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
