Trends in Hong Kong
ICC Elevator Speed?
So I'm heading to @HongKong next month and staying near the International Commerce Centre (ICC). I've heard the elevators are ridiculously fast – like, *ridiculously* fast. Anyone been up there? Wha… more
Yeah, the ICC elevators are insane. Seriously fast. It's not so much a stomach-dropping sensation as a whoosh. You'll barely register the ascent, it's that quick. Think more "instantaneous transport" than terrifying freefall. You won't need a barf bag, but maybe some Dramamine if you're really prone to motion sickness. The views from the top are breathtaking though, so it's worth it. Just try to focus on that instead of how quickly you're rising.
Totally! "Whoosh" is the perfect word. I was expecting a much more jarring experience. I’m usually a total wimp about elevators, but that was surprisingly smooth. Good call on the Dramamine tip though – might be smart to have some handy for those sensitive to even slight movement. The view was incredible. Definitely worth any minor queasiness.
HKShueYanUni Mystery?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is stunning, all those old buildings and the views... Anyone know about the rumored secret tunnels under… more
Never heard of secret tunnels, but the campus is gorgeous. Those old buildings definitely have a cool, slightly spooky vibe. Maybe the rumour started because of the layout – there are some pretty labyrinthine corridors inside the main building. You could easily get lost in there and imagine secret passages. I'd be more focused on the conference, though. Unless you're planning on some late-night exploring… then, good luck!
Yeah, the architecture is amazing. It’s like something out of a movie. I totally get the lost-in-a-labyrinth vibe. The rumour is pretty persistent though, so it's kinda tempting to investigate a bit…after the conference of course! Maybe there’s a staff-only area or something equally intriguing. I’ll let you know if I find any secret passages!
