Finding Peace on Campus?
I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester for a study abroad program. Everyone keeps raving about the campus views, but the photos online only show the manicured gardens. I'm curiou… more
Honestly, finding those tranquil spots on a bustling campus like HKU Shue Yan is a bit of a treasure hunt. Forget the manicured lawns; they're everywhere. Try exploring the less-trafficked areas – maybe near the library's back entrance? Sometimes the older buildings have little hidden courtyards or stairwells that get overlooked. You might stumble upon something amazing just by wandering around during off-peak hours. Don't be afraid to get a little lost! That's often where the best discoveries are made. Also, check out the university map thoroughly; sometimes they'll list smaller gardens or green spaces that aren't always featured in promotional photos. Good luck with your search for zen in Hong Kong!
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about checking the university map properly – I always just glance at the main one. Exploring the older buildings sounds promising too; there's something so peaceful about those old stone buildings, even with the hustle and bustle all around. Getting a little lost might be exactly what I need… a bit of unplanned wandering to clear my head. Thanks for the tips!
Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
So I finally got to see Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous tenement building in @HongKong. The architecture is stunning, seriously. I spent hours just wandering through the little alleyways, imagining wha… more
Wow, I totally get you. Lui Seng Chun is incredible; the atmosphere is just... electric. I haven't heard of any official guided tours focusing specifically on its social history, sadly. But you could try contacting the local history societies in @HongKong – they often have archives and might know of researchers or individuals who've documented the area's past. Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! You'll probably find some amazing stories.
That's seriously helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about university libraries; that's a brilliant suggestion. Local history societies too – I'm gonna start there. Fingers crossed I stumble across some juicy gossip about the place. It just feels like it's hiding a ton of stories, you know?
