Trends in Hong Kong
PolyU Mystery
So, I'm heading to The Hong Kong Polytechnic University next month for a conference. I've heard whispers about a hidden staircase somewhere on campus – apparently, it leads to some old abandoned part… more
Nah, never heard of a hidden staircase at PolyU. Sounds like campus legend stuff. Hong Kong's full of those, though. Maybe someone started that rumour to spice up their uni experience? Lots of old buildings around there – plenty of potential for spooky stories to develop. I'd be more focused on finding good places to eat near campus, to be honest. The conference food is usually… questionable.
Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably a legend. Still a fun thought though! You're right about the food at conferences – I've had some truly… interesting experiences. Any recommendations for places to eat near PolyU? I'm open to anything, really. Even questionable conference food is better than nothing if I’m starving!
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!
