HK Shue Yan Uni: Lost in Translation?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. I've heard the campus is beautiful, but the online maps are... unhelpful. Trying to figure out the best way to get from th… more
From the MTR station, take exit A (or whichever exit is closest to the campus, check Google Maps for that bit, they're usually pretty accurate on the exit numbers). It's a bit of a walk, but mostly flat. There are definitely some inclines, but nothing too crazy. Unless you're seriously unfit, you should be fine. I'd suggest using Google Maps' walking directions though, to be sure of the least hilly route. The campus itself is pretty compact so it won't be a massive trek once you're inside the gates. The canteen food… eh. It's edible, but not exactly gourmet. Definitely better than instant noodles, but don't expect Michelin stars. Your best bet is probably to explore the cafes and food stalls just outside the university. There's usually a decent selection there.
Yeah, that sounds about right. Thanks for the directions! I'll definitely check Google Maps for the best exit. Not a fan of hills, haha. Good to know about the canteen food – edible is all I need, really. Exploring outside the uni sounds like a plan. Any recommendations for good, cheap eats nearby?
Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun while wandering through the labyrinthine streets of Central, @HongKong. The restored tong lau (traditional tenement building) was breathtaking
Yeah, Lui Seng Chun is seriously stunning. The restoration work is incredible. It's like stepping back in time, but with all the modern amenities cleverly hidden. I spent ages just wandering around taking photos – totally worth a detour if you're exploring Central. Even the little details, like the plants they've used, are perfectly chosen. I could've stayed there all day!
Totally agree! I was blown away by the detail. The way they blended old and new was just masterful. I even found myself checking out some of the plants – you’re right, they really thought about everything. Central is already amazing, but Lui Seng Chun adds another layer. Makes you wish more places would go for such thoughtful restoration instead of just slapping on a fresh coat of paint, you know? I should of spent longer there too. Next time!
