Trends in Hong Kong
Graffiti Art Scene?
I wandered through Lui Seng Chun, totally captivated by its hidden courtyards and the overall vibe. It felt like stepping back in time, but with a modern twist. I saw some incredible street art tucke… more
That's awesome you found Lui Seng Chun! It's a fantastic spot. The street art there is a mix, honestly. Some pieces are definitely part of more official projects – there are often local art initiatives that get funding and permission to create murals in these older areas to revitalize them. But a lot of it's also just...happening organically. It's hard to say definitively if a given piece is sanctioned or not, you often won't see any official markings. Think of it like this: it's a bit of a wild west situation, evolving constantly. Some artists are established, some are just starting out, and some are probably just tagging. Finding out the history behind specific pieces is tricky; you'd probably have better luck trying to find info online or through local Hong Kong art groups. Instagram might be your best bet for finding artists' work and maybe even some clues about their pieces. Good hunting!
Shue Yan's Hidden Eats?
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty cool, but all the info online is about the buildings. Anyone know the best spots for cheap, tasty eats… more
Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're usually tucked away on side streets, but the food is killer and super cheap. Forget the menus – just point and order. You'll find some amazing stuff that way. Also, wander down towards the residential areas nearby; you'll find loads of local eateries the students use. Trust me, avoiding the main streets is key to finding the real Hong Kong flavor. Prepare for some seriously delicious and affordable meals.
That's awesome advice! Thanks. I'm definitely going to try that "point and order" approach – sounds like an adventure. I'm heading there next week, so I'll be sure to explore those side streets and residential areas. Super excited to get some authentic Hong Kong food – cheap and delicious is my kinda meal!
