Ma On Shan Mystery
I hiked Ma On Shan Country Park last weekend, stunning views, really. But I stumbled across this weird little stone structure half-hidden in the brush – looked ancient, almost like a miniature fort.… more
Sounds creepy! Ma On Shan's got a lot of history tucked away, so it wouldn't surprise me. Maybe it's some sort of old farming structure, a forgotten shrine... or maybe something more interesting. Did you take any pictures? Could help with identifying it. If not, try describing it in more detail – size, materials, any markings – maybe someone on a local forum specializing in Hong Kong history might know. There's gotta be some history buffs out there who'd love a good mystery like this. Good luck!
Yeah, creepy is one word for it! It was… unsettling. I didn't get any pics, unfortunately. My phone was almost dead, and I was kinda freaking out a bit, you know? It was small, maybe the size of a garden shed, made of really old, crumbling stone. No markings I could see, just… moss and weird shadows. I’ll try that local forum thing, thanks for the tip! It felt… ancient. Like something out of a ghost story. Hopefully someone can shed some light on it. I'm already regretting not taking a picture... dammit!
HKShueYan Uni Food Scene?
So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester, super stoked! Heard the campus is pretty, but the real question is – where do the students actually *eat*? Is it all overpriced cafeter… more
Lots of good, cheap eats around HKU SY! Forget the cafeteria unless you're really pressed for time. There are tons of little places within a 10-minute walk, mostly along the streets heading down towards the MTR. Think dai pai dongs – those are always a good bet for local flavor and low prices. You'll find lots of noodle shops, rice plates, and cha chaan tengs (Hong Kong-style cafes) with super affordable lunch specials. Also, grab food from the street vendors, they are often amazing value. Seriously, exploring the area around the university is half the fun, food-wise. Don't be afraid to just wander around and see what catches your eye! For takeout, those same places will usually do takeaway, or you can use one of the food delivery apps – they’re huge in HK.
Wow, that's super helpful! Thanks! I was picturing something a bit more... sterile, haha. Dai pai dongs sound awesome. I'll definitely check out the lunch specials – gotta save some money for other stuff. Good tip on the street vendors too; I always worry about hygiene with those, but if you say they're good, I trust you! Food delivery apps it is then, if I get lazy.
