Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
I'm visiting @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). Heard the elevators are ridiculously fast – like, *ridiculously* fast. Anyone who's been up there, can you… more
It's faster than you think. Seriously. I felt a tiny bit of pressure in my ears, like on a plane taking off, but mostly it was just... whoosh. Gone. You won't even have time to process the speed. The view is amazing, though, totally worth the slightly unnerving ascent. Forget the stairs – unless you enjoy a solid cardio workout before even beginning your sightseeing. You’ll be fine.
HKShueYanUni Mystery?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is stunning, all those old buildings and the views... Anyone know about the rumored secret tunnels under… more
Never heard of secret tunnels, but the campus is gorgeous. Those old buildings definitely have a cool, slightly spooky vibe. Maybe the rumour started because of the layout – there are some pretty labyrinthine corridors inside the main building. You could easily get lost in there and imagine secret passages. I'd be more focused on the conference, though. Unless you're planning on some late-night exploring… then, good luck!
Yeah, the architecture is amazing. It’s like something out of a movie. I totally get the lost-in-a-labyrinth vibe. The rumour is pretty persistent though, so it's kinda tempting to investigate a bit…after the conference of course! Maybe there’s a staff-only area or something equally intriguing. I’ll let you know if I find any secret passages!
