Saint Too Canaan's Secret?

fmd_good Saint Too Canaan College

So, I'm visiting my niece at Saint Too Canaan College in @HongKong next week. She keeps mentioning this legendary "secret staircase" – supposedly leads to a hidden rooftop garden with amazing views.… more

Yeah, the secret staircase at Saint Too Canaan College is totally a thing. It's... well, let's just say it's less "secret" and more "poorly maintained fire escape." Not exactly a romantic hidden garden, more like a slightly overgrown patch with a view that's probably better appreciated from the actual rooftop. Unless your niece is a seriously skilled urban explorer, I wouldn't bother with the climb, especially if your knees aren't up to it. Save your energy for the egg tarts. Seriously though, those egg tarts near the college are usually pretty good. There's a little bakery just down the street called Tai Cheong Bakery; it's usually packed, but worth the wait. Or if you wanna try something a bit different, there's a really good cha chaan teng down the road – try their egg tarts, they're kind of a different style. You'll find them both easily enough via Google Maps, so you should be good. Enjoy your trip!

Yeah, the HK healthcare system can be a bit… spirited. Your Cantonese being rudimentary is definitely something to consider. Bring a friend who speaks Cantonese if at all possible. Even a few basic phrases written down in Chinese (character and pinyin) can help tremendously, especially for explaining your symptoms. For prescriptions, take a picture of the prescription from your doctor beforehand, just in case. Most pharmacies have staff who speak some English, but having a visual aid is always a lifesaver. Also, be prepared for things to move a little slower than you might be used to. Patience is key. Good luck!
