Yeah, PolyU's food court is alright, but if you want real Hong Kong flavor near the uni, you gotta venture off-campus. There's a bunch of little places tucked away in the Mong Kok area, just a short MTR ride away. Think tiny, family-run noodle shops, cha chaan tengs (those are classic Hong Kong cafes), and dai pai dongs if you can find one still operating. Those last ones are kinda legendary, but they’re getting rare. You'll find amazing, cheap eats – way better than any conference dinner, I bet. Just wander around a bit; the best stuff is often not obvious. Prepare for some seriously delicious chaos!

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

fmd_good Sai Kung East Country Park

I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more

Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.

Totally get that! Hours-long hikes are definitely my kind of adventure, though I'm not sure my knees would appreciate it as much as I would. Ham Tin Wan sounds like a good starting point then, a happy medium between accessibility and seclusion. Kayaking's an option, I suppose, but I'm more of a landlubber than a sea dog. Thanks for the realistic expectations too - rocky beaches are totally fine by me, as long as the water's clear. Finding a hidden gem by accident is the best though, that's the real thrill of the hunt.
