PolyU Campus Food?
So I'm heading to PolyU next week for a conference. Heard the campus food scene is...legendary? Seriously, people rave about it. But is it *actually* that good, or is it just hyped up student nostal… more
It's pretty good, honestly. Not legendary legendary, but definitely better than your average campus cafeteria. The hype is partly nostalgia, sure, but there's substance to it. For vegetarian options, you'll find a few decent places around the main campus buildings. Look for smaller, independent stalls – they often have more interesting and affordable veggie choices than the larger canteens. Avoid peak lunch hours if you hate queues. Check out what's available on the PolyU website or student forums – they sometimes have updated food maps. You might also find some decent stuff just outside the campus gates, too. Happy eating!
Yeah, that's pretty much my experience too. The nostalgia thing is real – I remember some killer egg waffles from back in the day. The smaller stalls are definitely where it's at, though; way more character than the big, generic places. Good tip about the website and student forums – didn't think of checking those. Thanks! I'll definitely try to avoid the lunchtime rush... Hate waiting in line.
Sai Kung's Secret Beaches?
I spent a week hiking through Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The trails were well-maintained, but man, the humidity! I was sweating buckets. Saw some amazing wildlife – monkeys,… more
Yeah, Sai Kung's a beast! Sharp Peak's a killer view, I agree. For less-traveled beaches, you'll have to put in some effort. Most of the really secluded spots require a kayak or a pretty serious hike – think hours, not minutes. Ham Tin Wan is decent, relatively accessible, but still quiet. Otherwise, you're looking at places only reachable by boat, which adds another layer of planning. Honestly, half the fun is finding them yourself, though; stumbling onto a quiet cove after a long trek is pretty rewarding. Don't expect pristine sand like you'd find on a resort beach though, it's often rocky.
