Lost in Cognitio's Labyrinth
So, I'm heading to Cognitio College next month – heard the architecture is insane, like a maze built by Gaudí on caffeine. Apparently, finding the library is a rite of passage, a legendary quest invo… more
One time, some poor first-year was asking around for the library. This senior, looking like he hadn't slept in a week and subsisted solely on instant noodles, pointed vaguely towards a particularly ornate gargoyle and said, "Just follow the whispers. The books… they call to you." Apparently, the poor kid spent half an hour staring at the gargoyle, convinced it was going to start talking. I heard he eventually found it, but only after accidentally stumbling into the Dean's office and getting a personalized tour. True story.
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
