PolyU Campus Mystery?

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

I'm visiting @Hong Kong next month and finally getting to see the PolyU campus – I've heard so many stories about its hidden staircases and secret pathways from old students. They say some areas are… more

Honestly, it's a bit of both. PolyU's definitely got some seriously convoluted bits – those older buildings are a maze. I wouldn't say it's impossible to get lost, but it's not some impossible-to-navigate fortress either. Just pay attention to the maps (they're usually pretty good!), and you should be fine. The "secret pathways" thing is probably more of a fun story old students tell than a real, widespread thing, but you will find yourself going "huh, I didn't know that was here" a few times, that's for sure. Don't worry about missing your flight – just allow a bit of extra time to explore.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it wasn't some actual mystery, more like... a reputation. Like, the architecture's old enough to have accumulated a few quirks, and those quirks become legendary. I've heard similar things about other old universities – they're basically little cities unto themselves. Thanks for the heads-up about the maps though, I'll definitely be checking those out before I head over. It's good to know I should’t be expecting any Indiana Jones-level exploration though!

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
