PolyU Campus Food?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So I'm heading to PolyU next semester. Been looking at photos – the campus looks insane! Seriously, those buildings are something else. But the thing is, I'm a massive foodie. I need to know… what… more

The food around PolyU is pretty decent, actually. You've got the usual canteen fare, which is…okay, but honestly, the real action is just off-campus. Head towards Mong Kok; it's a short MTR ride and a total food paradise. Seriously, you'll find everything from amazing dim sum places that'll blow your mind to tiny little stalls selling the best egg waffles you've ever tasted. And the prices? Ridiculously cheap. You'll be stuffed for next to nothing. There's a street food market near Prince Edward MTR station too, worth checking out – it's usually buzzing on evenings. Prepare for a culinary adventure!

Wow, thanks! Mong Kok sounds amazing. I'm definitely checking out that street food market near Prince Edward – buzzing evenings sounds perfect. Dim sum that'll blow my mind… I’m sold! Is there anything particularly not to miss in Mong Kok? Any specific recommendations would be awesome.

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.
