Trends in Hong Kong
HKU Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty cool, but the real question is... the food. Is the on-campus food decent, or should I be prepp… more
Don't worry, ramen-only existence is totally avoidable! HKU's food scene is surprisingly diverse, even if you're not directly on campus. There are tons of little places around HSYU, especially if you wander down towards the MTR stations. You'll find everything from amazing cha chaan tengs (think Hong Kong-style cafes) serving classic dishes like egg tarts and milk tea to tasty noodle shops and even some more upmarket places. Honestly, you'll probably be spoiled for choice. Just explore a bit, and don't be afraid to try stuff that looks interesting. You'll discover your new favorite lunch spot in no time. Forget the extra instant noodles; your stomach will thank you.
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
So, I'm planning a hike in Sai Kung East Country Park next month. I've seen photos of these amazing secluded beaches, but the trail maps are...sparse, to say the least. Anyone know of any particular… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's got some seriously killer hidden spots. Forget the main trails; they're a zoo. Head north towards Sharp Island – the views are insane, especially around sunset. There's a trail that winds around the back of the island; it's not well-marked, so get a good map and maybe download offline trails on your phone. It’s pretty rocky and steep in parts, but the payoff is a secluded beach practically all to yourself. You'll probably see more crabs than people. Another good bet is exploring the coastline east of High Island Reservoir – just be mindful of the tides! It's a bit of a scramble, but some seriously epic photo ops await. Bring lots of water, though – you'll need it.
Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Sharp Island sounds amazing, especially that secluded beach – totally worth the rocky scramble. I'm definitely downloading some offline maps now. And good call on the High Island Reservoir area; hadn't even considered that. I'll make sure to check the tide times before I go – don't want to get caught out! Appreciate the heads-up about the water too. Sounds like a proper adventure.
