PolyU Food Stalls?
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 Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
