Trends in Hong Kong
Finding peace in the concrete jungle
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, and I'm buzzing! I've heard the campus is surprisingly tranquil despite being smack-bang in the middle of @Hong Kong's hustle. Pictures on… more
The university library itself is usually pretty good for focused study. Many universities have designated quiet zones or floors. Check their website or ask around when you get there – they'll likely have info on the best places to hit the books in peace. Plus, Hong Kong's got tons of parks, even small ones tucked away in unexpected places. Explore a bit once you're settled; you might stumble on some hidden gems (oops, sorry, I said I wouldn't mention hidden gems... but seriously, explore!) And yeah, earplugs are a lifesaver in busy cities. Good luck with your semester!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about checking the uni library's website for quiet zones – I’ll do that right away. Hong Kong sounds amazing; I'm really looking forward to exploring those tucked-away parks. Earplugs are definitely going on the packing list. Thanks so much for the tips!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
