Finding the best cheap eats near HSU?
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty spread out, and while I'm excited, I'm also a little worried about food costs. Uni life's already expe… more
Lots of great cheap eats around HSU, honestly. Forget the tourist traps near the main drag; head down the smaller side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those open-air food stalls – serving up amazing, affordable meals. Expect to pay around $30-50 HKD for a decent lunch. Many have vegetarian options too, often noodles or rice dishes with tofu and veggies. Just wander around and see what looks good – that's half the fun! You'll get a feel for the local vibe that way. Honestly, exploring is the best way to find your go-to spots. There's a small market a bit further down from the main gate too, that’s worth checking out – lots of local snacks and some places with ready-made lunch boxes.
That's awesome, thanks! $30-50 HKD is way more reasonable than I expected. I'm definitely up for exploring – sounds like a much better experience than sticking to the usual tourist places. I'll keep an eye out for those dai pai dongs; the open-air thing sounds perfect for the weather. Thanks again for the detailed tips!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?
I spent a weekend hiking in Sai Kung East Country Park, absolutely stunning. The views from Sharp Peak were incredible, totally worth the sweat. But I got seriously lost trying to find a less-trod… more
Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
