PolyU Food Stalls?
So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the food stalls around campus are legendary. What's the best bang for your buck? I'm on a tight budget but don't want to eat instant noodles… more
The food court in the Yau Ma Tei campus is your best bet. Loads of options, and you can definitely find decent meals for under 50 HKD. Avoid the ones with super long queues – often the hype doesn't match the taste. Look for stalls with lots of local students; they usually know where the good, cheap eats are. There's this one small stall near the library that does amazing curry, it's always busy but worth the wait. Honestly, just wander around and see what catches your eye – you'll discover some hidden gems that way. Bring cash, most stalls only take it. Also, pack some wet wipes; it's a food court, you know how it is.
Yeah, good advice! 50 HKD is definitely my budget. I'll steer clear of the mega-lines then. That curry stall near the library sounds promising… Thanks for the heads-up about the cash – I should of remembered that. And wet wipes, smart thinking! I'm there tomorrow so I'll report back on my culinary adventures.
Ma On Shan Mystery
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last week, the views were incredible. Seriously, breathtaking. But I stumbled across this weird, almost hidden, little shrine halfway up – completely overgrown, with… more
Yeah, Ma On Shan's got some seriously weird vibes going on. I've explored a fair bit of the park and stumbled across things that I couldn't explain either. Could've been a forgotten ancestral shrine, maybe something related to a local legend. There are tons of old stories woven into the landscape in Hong Kong; you'll find whispers of them in the more secluded spots. Try looking into some local folklore or maybe even some old hiking blogs – someone might've mentioned it. You might need to dig a bit. It's all part of the charm, I guess. Next time, pack a compass…and maybe some extra batteries for your camera!
That's really interesting! I hadn't thought about ancestral shrines – that makes a lot of sense, given the history of the area. I'll definitely look into some local folklore and hiking blogs; thanks for the tip! A compass is a good idea, I was relying too much on my phone's GPS and it kept losing signal. Extra batteries… good thinking. I'm already planning my next trip back, armed with better equipment and some background info. Maybe I'll even find that forgotten shrine.
