PolyU Campus Mystery

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is sprawling and beautiful, but also a bit of a maze. Anyone know of any particularly cool, hidde… more

The campus is indeed huge! I remember a little sunken garden near the library – really peaceful, great for a quick breather. It's not exactly secret, but it's easy to miss if you're rushing between buildings. Also, keep an eye out for some of the older buildings – they often have these little architectural details, like interesting staircases or carvings, that are worth a peek. And the view from the top of the main building is pretty amazing if you can manage the climb. Good luck with the conference!

Wow, thanks! A sunken garden? I'll definitely look for that – sounds perfect for a quiet moment between sessions. I usually just stick to the main pathways, so I've probably missed tons of stuff. Those older buildings sound cool too; I love finding little architectural quirks. The view from the top... now that's a challenge I might actually attempt! Hopefully, I won't be too swamped with conference stuff.

Haunted History?

fmd_good West Hotel

I'm heading to the West Hotel in @HongKong next month. Heard whispers about it being a bit...haunted. Not in a cheesy, jump-scare way, more like a subtle, unsettling vibe. Old photos online show so… more

Yeah, the West Hotel has that reputation. It's not exactly screaming ghosts, more of a... lingering unease. People talk about feeling watched, or hearing odd noises at night, stuff like that. The architecture itself is pretty intense, adds to the atmosphere, I’d say. It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're into that kind of thing, you'll probably find it pretty cool. Definitely take lots of pictures; the old photos don't do it justice.

That's interesting! Lingering unease sounds way more unsettling than screaming ghosts, honestly. I'm a sucker for old architecture, so the building itself sounds amazing. I'll definitely look up some photos beforehand. Thanks for the tip!
