Here we suggest some locations where you can plan day trips and guess what?... It doesn’t necessarily mean spending a fortune. Instead, looking back on the memories and little souvenirs from trips with your family and friends are what matters the most which can be especially difficult in COVID times. We hope to help you make those memories in some of the greatest places around Hong Kong. I know it’s a bit cringe but it’s true!
The past year has brought with it an unfortunate standstill, throwing a big fat wrench into our university lives in more ways than one. But on the bright side, it’s also given us the time to delve into new hobbies like plant collecting, hiking, crafts, and most importantly (at least for me), getting elbow-deep in the kitchen.
This week we interviewed a bunch of you guys on campus about your sex life. After a few more discussions, we got to know a bit more about your sex life. In order to grant these people anonymity, we have changed their name. Besides, all the sexual acts discussed were consensual.
Thrifting is unarguably one of the biggest 2020 trends in the influencer fashion community.
To save you from future online thrifting bummers, here are some of Malachite’s favorite local thrift shops to help you stay both environmentally and wallet friendly!
Are you getting bored with the food options available in HKU? Have you ever tried food from locals in HK? Are you on a budget?

After the Hong Kong government lifted some social distancing measures, gyms could finally reopen. As usual, I went to the CSE website to book a time for the gym session. Though I was delighted that I could finally get back to the gym grind, I was still unsatisfied with the lack of options HKU provided. Then, I saw a name I’ve never seen before: HKU B-Active. A new gym?
If you’re on campus looking for a place to eat, don’t worry. We’re here to help you through the process of finding the best possible restaurant!
Here are two more recs from Malachite!

Literally nothing screams unadulterated love like dessert does, and what’s even better is if it’s affordable and in close reach. Kennedy Town is home to numerous dessert hangouts, ranging from western to traditional Chinese sweet delights. After visiting and testing out a few of these place, we suggest checking these spots when you’re craving a sugary getaway.
We will be recommending cafes of different vibes for
the upcoming weeks, so by the time we go back to campus, you will have ready a list of places to go in-between lessons.
Cafes with a chill vibe but still suitable for doing work or studying is essential, especially when we are slowly transitioning back to the ‘normal’. Here are two recommendations from Malachite!
Located in Fashion Walk, one of Hong Kong’ famous brunch hotspots, Little Bao surrounds itself with other hipster café’s such as Elephant Grounds and Lady M. However, the restaurant differentiates itself with its unique take on Asian cuisine with a Western twist.

HKU has long been an advocate of sustainability;
leading as an example of how sustainable living is a
permanent and continuous development, rather than a fleeting glimpse of “carbon-free living” at the cost of a world-wide standstill.
Matthew Pryor, Head of the Division of Landscape Architecture and an Associate professor within HKU’s Faculty of Architecture, believes that “The University is a microcosm of society, we would be leading the way,” he says, “We should be showing people how to do it.”
In a push forward, Chris and his friends initiated a new photography project with the goal of urging people to raise awareness of the virus, stop working and suspend classes. He distributed leaflets at the University and began his project.
Models were invited, the darkroom was set. After one-week preparation, ninety-two photos captured and over a hundred hours of editing work, “2020: ONE HEART” came out.
