Trends in Hong Kong
Finding a quiet study spot?
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. The brochures show all these modern, sleek buildings, but I'm worried – will I actually find any quiet places to study between classes? I'… more
Depends on the time of day, really. Hong Kong Shue Yan is pretty compact, so finding somewhere quiet isn't impossible, even during busy periods. The library's your best bet – obviously – but check out some of the less-trafficked corners of the campus too. Those quieter walkways between buildings can be surprisingly peaceful, especially if you find a spot with some shade. Noise-cancelling headphones are still a good idea though, just for those unavoidable moments of peak student chaos. You'll probably get used to it faster than you think. Good luck with your studies!
That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't even considered the walkways between buildings – I always assumed the library would be my only option. Noise-cancelling headphones are definitely going on the shopping list. Hopefully, it won't be too chaotic... fingers crossed!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
