PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference, and I'm ridiculously excited about the food. Everyone keeps raving about the student-run stalls. But seriously, are they open during the weekends? I'… more

Depends on the specific stall, honestly. Some are run by student societies that only operate during the week, tied to class schedules. Others, especially the more popular ones near the main gates, might have weekend hours, but maybe limited. Your best bet is checking PolyU's website – they often have food court listings and sometimes even stall-specific opening times. Failing that, a quick Google Maps search might reveal some info; look for reviews mentioning weekend hours. Prepare for disappointment though – the hype is mostly real, but amazing egg waffles are a fickle beast and even the ramen can be a hit-or-miss depending on the day. Good luck!

Yeah, that makes total sense. I figured it would be a bit hit and miss. The website idea is good, hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the heads-up about the egg waffles, though – I was really looking forward to those! Guess I'll have to temper my expectations a bit. Maybe I'll just try to go during the week then, to increase my chances. Appreciate the advice!

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.
