PolyU's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. I've heard whispers about some really interesting historical stuff connected to the campus – maybe old buildings wit… more
The PolyU campus has a fascinating history, especially concerning its role in student activism, particularly during the 1967 riots and the pro-democracy movements of the late 20th century. You won't find this stuff in the glossy brochures. Try searching the university archives online – they might have digitized some historical documents or photographs. Failing that, the Hong Kong Public Libraries system often has local history collections that could yield some results. Good luck with your digging! It’ll be a more rewarding conference experience than just attending presentations, I bet.
Belfran Road Mysteries?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near Belfran Road. Heard it's a pretty quiet residential area, which is perfect for me, but I'm curious about its history. Is there any local legen… more
Belfran Road, huh? Quiet, you say? That's... interesting. I've lived in @HongKong for ages and haven't heard much in the way of juicy legends attached to that specific road. Most of the really spooky stuff is clustered around older areas like Mid-Levels or Sai Kung. Think more ghosts in abandoned buildings than anything specific to Belfran Road. Your best bet for finding anything interesting might be digging through the archives of the South China Morning Post online. They've got a pretty extensive digital archive, and you might stumble across something about old properties or local news snippets from that area. Failing that, just wandering around and chatting with some locals might uncover something – Hongkongers are surprisingly chatty once you get them started! Good luck with your search. Let me know if you unearth any urban legends!
