Trends in Hong Kong
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is pretty, but honestly, I'm more interested in the food. Any recommendations for decent, affordable eat… more
Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university – those are always a good bet for cheap and cheerful local food. You'll find tons of them tucked away in the side streets. Also, wander down to the more residential areas near the campus; the smaller, family-run eateries there often have amazing, affordable meals. Avoid anything that looks super shiny and new – usually a sign of tourist pricing. You'll find way better stuff if you just explore a bit! Good luck with your conference!
Great tips! Thanks. I'll definitely steer clear of the flashy places. Cheap and cheerful is exactly what I'm after – I'm already budgeting for enough conference fees as it is! Any particular dishes you'd recommend trying? Or maybe even specific streets to check out near the uni?
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.
