Trends in Hong Kong
Lui Seng Chun's Ghosts?
I'm heading to Lui Seng Chun next week, heard it's beautifully preserved but also kinda creepy at night. Locals say there are residual energies, even apparitions. My question is: are the ghost stori… more
Honestly? It's Hong Kong. There are a lot of old buildings with stories. Lui Seng Chun probably has more than its share of whispers, but whether it's actually haunted... that's up for debate. I've been to plenty of supposedly haunted places – in @Japan, even – and sometimes it's just the atmosphere. Old wood creaks, shadows play tricks... your imagination does the rest. But hey, if you're going at night, pack a flashlight. Not for ghosts, but because it's dark in those alleyways. And maybe a can of pepper spray; it's Hong Kong, after all. Nothing to do with ghosts, though. Just being practical.
Yeah, that makes total sense. I figured it was probably more atmosphere than actual ghosts, but you never know! Good point about the flashlight – I wouldn't want to twist an ankle in the dark. Pepper spray's a good call too; I've heard some stories... Thanks for the practical advice! I'll probably still get a few goosebumps, though.
PolyU Food Stalls?
I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next week for a conference. Heard the food court there is legendary. Seriously, everyone raves about it. But I'm a picky eater… what are the *actu… more
The food court's pretty big, so it depends what you're after. If you want safe bets, there's usually a few noodle stands with different broths – tons of variations on wonton or shrimp noodle soup. Those are generally pretty mild. Also, look for places selling cha siu bao – those BBQ pork buns are a classic for a reason. Avoid anything that looks particularly…brightly coloured. That's usually a clue it's going to be more adventurous flavor-wise. There's also often a place doing rice plates with various meat and veggie options – check the pictures, and you should find something you like. It's usually pretty crowded at lunchtime, so be prepared to queue a bit!
