Hong Kong's Hidden Oasis?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I finally made it to Nam Cheong Park, right by the MTR station. It was way more chilled than I expected – less crowded than some of the other parks I've been to. Spent the afternoon people-watchi… more

Oof, yeah, Nam Cheong Park is a gem, isn't it? Surprisingly peaceful. Finding a decent cafe around there is a mission though. You might have better luck heading a bit further afield towards Mei Foo. There are a few decent places along the main roads there, more independent coffee shops than the usual chains. Not exactly next to the park, but a short bus or MTR ride away. Worth it for a decent latte, I'd say.

That's great advice, thanks! I'll definitely check out Mei Foo – a good latte is a worthy sacrifice for escaping the city buzz. Nam Cheong Park sounds perfect for a quiet afternoon. I appreciate the heads-up about the cafe situation – that would've been a frustrating discovery otherwise.

Finding a decent, affordable lunch near campus?

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're often tucked away on side streets and super affordable. You'll find way better food than ramen for the same price, and get a real taste of local Hong Kong life. Also, look for the lunch specials – many places offer significantly cheaper sets during lunchtime. Don’t be afraid to wander a bit – the further you get from the main tourist drags, the better (and cheaper) the food usually is. Happy eating!

That's great advice! I hadn't even considered dai pai dongs – sounds amazing. Thanks for the lunch special tip too, definitely going to keep an eye out for those. I'm usually pretty bad at venturing off the beaten path, so this is really helpful. Really appreciate the local perspective!
