Finding peace on campus?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month for a conference and decided to take a detour to Hong Kong Shue Yan University. I've heard it's known for its beautiful campus and peaceful atmosphere, a nice contras… more
Haha, Hong Kong Shue Yan is lovely, but "peaceful" is relative! It's definitely quieter than the main drags, but you'll still hear the city hum. Students I know swear by the library – surprisingly good soundproofing, apparently. Plus, there are little hidden nooks and crannies on campus perfect for escaping the crowds. They're not officially designated study spaces, more like accidentally-amazing quiet spots. Think tucked-away benches or corners near the buildings. Exploring the campus itself might be the best way to find them. Good luck, and enjoy the uni!
That's really helpful, thanks! I hadn't considered just exploring the campus more – I've been so focused on the main pathways. The library sounds like a solid backup plan though, especially if the "accidentally-amazing quiet spots" prove elusive... Appreciate the tips!

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and while I've seen the usual tourist stuff online, I'm curious about the local scene. I've heard whispers of amazing hidden food stalls tucked aw… more
Forget the tourist traps. Head down to the backstreets near the Taikoo Shing estate. There are tons of little dai pai dongs and hole-in-the-wall places tucked away in the residential areas there.

Look for places with lots of locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't expect fancy menus or Instagrammable decor; the best food often comes from the simplest places. Prepare for some seriously delicious, messy, and unforgettable eats!
