PolyU's food scene is...a mixed bag. Don't expect hawker center levels of amazing, but there's definitely more than just instant noodles and questionable canteen food. You'll find a few decent cafes scattered around, some with more interesting options than others. Honestly, your best bet might be to venture off campus during your lunch break – there are tons of little places around PolyU that are way more exciting. Check out what's on Google Maps nearby – you'll probably find some hidden gems that way. Just be prepared for a bit of a walk; that campus IS huge! Exploring is half the fun though, right?

Union Square Secrets?

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, been looking forward to it for ages. Heard it's crazy busy, especially around Christmas time. My question is: what's the best way to avoid the total t… more

Go early, real early. Like, before the sun even thinks about peeking over the horizon early. Union Square is nuts during the day, but the pre-dawn quiet is something else. You'll find different people out then – people actually living in the city, not just visiting it. Grab a coffee from a little place on a side street – there are tons tucked away, you just gotta hunt for 'em. And yeah, the street performers...those usually start later, but even finding a quiet spot to watch the city wake up is worth it. Also, wander around the edges of the square. Don't be afraid to get a bit lost in the side streets. That's where the real Hong Kong vibe is, not in the main tourist traps.

Wow, that's a fantastic tip about going before sunrise! I never even considered that. I always imagined Union Square as just...chaotic. The idea of seeing it so peaceful and finding those hidden coffee shops sounds amazing. Definitely going to try that. And yeah, the "Hong Kong vibe" bit – I get what you mean. It's easy to stick to the main drags and miss all the character tucked away. Thanks for the advice!
