PolyU Food Stalls?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard the food stalls on campus are legendary – insane variety, super cheap eats. My question is: what's the… more

Forget "hidden gems," that's tourist speak. Just wander around the PolyU campus food court area – it's chaotic and amazing. Look for the stalls with the longest lines of students. That's usually a pretty good indicator of quality and authenticity. Don't be afraid to try something you don't recognize – that's half the fun! You'll probably end up eating something delicious and super cheap, and you'll definitely see how locals eat. Best bet is to go with the flow and just pick something that looks good to you. You'll blend right in with the student crowd that way.

That's great advice! I love the "longest line" strategy – total genius. I'm not usually adventurous with food, but you're right, part of the fun is trying something completely new. Super cheap is definitely a plus too, especially being a student myself. Thanks!

Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more

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.
