Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So, I'm planning a trip to @HongKong and stumbled across this Shun Lee Tsuen Playground – the photos online look amazing, lush greenery in the middle of a bustling city. My question is: how noticeabl… more

It really depends on the time of day. Weekdays during the working day are probably quieter than weekends or evenings. Shun Lee Tsuen is a decent-sized park, so you might find pockets of relative quiet, especially if you head towards the back. But let's be real, @HongKong is LOUD. You'll definitely hear the city, it's not going to be a completely silent retreat. Think more "peaceful moments punctuated by the distant hum of the city" rather than complete serenity. If total quiet is your absolute priority, maybe look into some of the more secluded hiking trails outside the city.

HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more

Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.

Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
