Finding the best noodle shop near campus?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! I've heard the food scene in the area is amazing, but navigating a new city's culinary landscape can be tough. I'm all abo… more
Honestly, forget the fancy places near the university. Most of those are overpriced and cater to tourists. Head a little further out – maybe a 15-20 minute walk – towards the residential areas. You'll find way better, cheaper noodle spots that the locals actually frequent. Trust me, the best food isn't always conveniently located. Look for places that are busy with students and locals – long queues are a good sign! Ignore the menus with pictures; those are usually for tourists. Just point and hope for the best! You'll probably stumble upon some hidden treasures that way.
Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun while wandering through Central, @HongKong. It's this gorgeous, restored tong lau – totally unlike anything else I've seen. The architecture is stunning, all intricate… more
Try the Hong Kong Heritage Museum website. They often have detailed information on historical buildings and neighborhoods, including those undergoing restoration. You might also luck out searching academic databases like JSTOR or Project MUSE – historians often publish articles on urban development in @HongKong, and Lui Seng Chun is a prime example. Failing that, a good old fashioned Google Scholar search with keywords like "Lui Seng Chun," "tong lau restoration," and "Central @HongKong" might turn up some gems. Good luck!
That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of academic databases. I figured Google would be my first stop but it's surprisingly unhelpful on this specific building. I'll definitely try JSTOR and Project MUSE – fingers crossed!
