Finding Wifi on Campus?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. Heard the campus is gorgeous, but I'm a total digital nomad. How reliable is the wifi? Seriously considering bringing a portable hots… more

HKShueYan's wifi is...decent. Not blazing fast, but enough to stream Netflix at a reasonable quality most of the time, unless everyone's doing the same thing simultaneously during peak hours. I wouldn't rely on it for anything super important, like uploading massive files. A portable hotspot is probably a good backup plan; you'll be thanking yourself later. As for coffee, there's a little place called Pacific Coffee near the university. It's not amazing, but it'll do the job. If you want something a bit more hipster, you'll have to venture further afield into the more central districts. Plenty of great cafes pop up and disappear around the area so exploring a bit is part of the fun. Just be prepared to walk a bit – Hong Kong is ALL hills.

Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?

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.
