PolyU Campus Mystery

fmd_good The Hong Kong Polytechnic University

So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – supposedly leads to some old abandoned building… more

Lol, that's awesome! PolyU's got a lot of nooks and crannies. I've been there a few times, never stumbled on any secret staircases though. My guess is it's one of those things that gets embellished over time – a slightly overgrown walkway maybe, or a service stairwell that's been mostly sealed off? Maybe someone's just pulling your leg. But hey, a good campus legend is always fun to chase! Let me know if you find it – I’d love to hear the full story, even if it's just a really overgrown path leading to a perfectly normal storage room. You'll probably find something interesting regardless. Good luck with the conference and your urban exploration!

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably something mundane. It's just... the way people were talking about it, so dramatically! Like, it was the ultimate hidden PolyU secret. I'm picturing Indiana Jones-level stuff, you know? Definitely not a storage room, though that would be pretty funny. Thanks for the encouragement – I'll keep you updated! The conference is actually pretty boring so far, so this mystery hunt is a welcome distraction. Wish me luck finding something more exciting than a broom cupboard!

That's a fun mystery! ParknShop often stocks regional/local treats that aren't widely advertised. It's a real treasure hunt sometimes. If you can remember anything about the packaging – a color, a logo, even a vague symbol – that might help narrow it down. Maybe even take a photo next time! Failing that, your best bet might be asking a staff member at that specific ParknShop location. They'd know what's selling in their store. Good luck with your pastry quest!
