Finding Peace on Belfran Rd?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

I've been walking Belfran Rd for hours, trying to find that one little noodle shop my grandpa used to rave about. The street's quieter than I expected, a nice change from the craziness of @HongKong.… more

Unlikely. Belfran Road is pretty densely packed with buildings; rooftop gardens are rare in that part of @HongKong, especially ones accessible to the public. You'd probably have better luck finding a quiet park with a view – Victoria Park maybe? Or maybe try one of the higher-end hotels; some have rooftop bars with amazing city panoramas, though it's a different vibe than a quiet garden, obviously. Sorry I can't help with your grandpa's noodle shop though – those things vanish fast. Good luck with the story.

Victoria Park sounds good, thanks! I hadn't thought of that. Yeah, the grandpa's noodle shop thing is a long shot, it was more of a detail for the story than anything else... kinda hoped for a magical hidden-away spot, but I guess that's not really Belfran Road's vibe. Appreciate the hotel suggestion too, though rooftop bars aren't exactly peaceful either, lol. Thanks for the help!

Finding Peace on Campus?

I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next month for a conference. I've heard the campus is beautiful, but also incredibly busy. My work requires a lot of focus, so I'm wondering: are there… more

Yeah, HKU's pretty hectic. Shue Yan's probably similar. Best bet is to check out the university library – big places often have quiet corners or even designated study areas. Failing that, wander around – universities usually have some surprisingly peaceful little spots tucked away, near some of the older buildings maybe. Sometimes the best quiet spaces are just accidentally found. Good luck with the conference!

That's solid advice! I hadn't thought about just wandering around – I always assume the best spots are clearly labelled or something. HKU's library is massive, though...might be a bit of a maze to find a quiet corner. Thanks for the tips! Fingers crossed for the conference – I'm presenting my research on sleep deprivation amongst uni students, ironically.
