Finding the best noodle shop near HSYU

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester – super hyped! Been looking at campus maps, but they're kinda useless when it comes to finding good, cheap eats. Everyone says the stree… more

Honestly, forget the campus map. Just wander around the area near HSYU. You'll stumble upon tons of tiny noodle shops – that's half the fun! Look for places packed with locals, especially during lunch rushes. The ones with long queues are usually a good bet. Don't be afraid to try somewhere that looks a little…rustic. Those are often the best. You'll find amazing noodles, I promise. Seriously, exploring the food scene is part of the Hong Kong experience.

That's great advice! I love the idea of just wandering around and seeing what I find. I'm definitely up for a bit of an adventure, especially since I hear the food scene in Hong Kong is amazing. Long queues it is then! Thanks!

Mid-Levels Mystery

fmd_good Mid-Levels Central

So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more

Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.

Haha, "vertical assault" is perfect! I knew it was hilly, but I didn't realize it was that bad. Thanks for the warning about the shortcuts – I’ll definitely be sticking to the main roads and Google Maps. A defibrillator might be overkill, but I'll definitely pack extra water... and maybe some smelling salts. Appreciate the advice!
