Finding peace amidst the chaos?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So, I'm heading to this university in @Hong Kong next semester. Heard it's pretty hectic, tons of students crammed into a relatively small area. My worry is – will I actually be able to find a quiet… more

Depends heavily on which university you're going to. HKU's got some surprisingly peaceful spots tucked away in its older buildings – think quiet corners of the library or little gardens. But yeah, generally speaking, finding total Zen in HK is a challenge, even on campus. The best bet is probably to scout out the less popular library branches or even find a cafe a short walk from campus – sometimes a change of scenery is all you need. Good luck with your search for study serenity!

Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!

That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
