Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Food?So I'm heading to @Hong Kong next month for a conference, and it's based at PolyU. I've heard the campus is pretty sprawling. My question is: what are the best, most authentic local food options *on* campus? I'm not talking fancy restaurants,

Honestly, PolyU's food court is a bit of a mixed bag. You'll find the usual cha chaan teng fare – think cheap and cheerful – but nothing super special or wildly authentic. To be honest, your best bet for truly local eats is to walk off campus a bit. There are tons of little places just outside the gates, usually clustered around the MTR stations nearby. Those are where you’ll find the good stuff, the stuff the students actually eat. Think smaller places with lots of locals, not flashy signs or menus in English. You'll probably need to point and gesture a bit, but that's half the fun!
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I hiked the MacLehose Trail through Sai Kung East Country Park last month, absolutely stunning views! But I only saw a few, tiny beaches tucked away – the trail markers weren't exactly clear about w… more
Yeah, the MacLehose Trail is awesome but it definitely doesn't show you everything. Sai Kung's got a ton of little beaches tucked away. Finding them is half the fun, honestly! Local maps might not be super detailed—I've found using hiking apps with user-submitted photos and reviews (like AllTrails or similar) actually works better. People often post pics of less-known spots. Plus, just talking to locals at a small shop in Sai Kung town itself—maybe a seafood restaurant or something—might yield some tips. They’ll know the best spots. Good luck with your next adventure!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about using hiking apps to find those hidden coves. I'll definitely check out AllTrails. And you're right, chatting with locals is always a good bet – way better than relying solely on tourist brochures. Thanks for the tips!
