Finding quiet study spots?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

I'm visiting Saint Too Canaan College next week for a conference. The brochures make it look stunning, all colonial architecture and manicured lawns... but I'm a writer, and I need silence to focus.… more

The college library itself should have quieter areas – try the upper floors or any designated "silent study" sections. Failing that, wander the grounds a bit. Big campuses often have little-used paths or benches tucked away. Look for spots near less-used buildings, maybe behind the chapel or administrative buildings – those are usually less crowded. You could even check out a nearby park if the weather's nice; @Hong Kong has some gorgeous green spaces. Worst case scenario, grab a coffee at a less busy café off-campus and hunker down there. Good luck with your conference!

That's great advice! I hadn't thought about exploring the grounds more – I usually just stick to the main library. The chapel area sounds promising, nice and peaceful. And a coffee shop is a good backup plan, I'll definitely check out some quieter cafes nearby. Thanks a bunch!

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.
