Centennial Campus, The University of Hong Kong

The Centennial Campus is where I always have my lessons. You can see from its name, it was established when HKU reached its centenary in 2012. We may define the campus starting from the Haking Wong Building at the West gate to Cheng Yu Tung Tower. The facilities there are recently constructed and new.
One of the must-​go site is on the Ground Floor (4/​F of the Haking Wong Building) — the red brick wall with the university’s name and logo — you may catch a glimpse of the photo. Yes, because of them, it’s become another symbol of the university. There are several pieces of grassland beside. The grassland was quite nice and I loved sitting there and chatting with my buddies during lunchtime or after class. When it was autumn the breeze was mild and sitting there was just relaxing. Yet perhaps since the grassland got frequently trampled on, the soil became poor and now the university forbids us from stepping on it. If you love spending your spare time on grassland, you may go to the Centennial Garden on the 1/​F. It’s just finished construction and I’m sure that lots of people will be there after class!
As an Arts student, I still prefer having lessons in the Main Building rather than the Centennial Campus. You know, the ambience matters. The Centennial Campus is just too new! But sadly I’ve never had lectures there… Anyway, the Centennial Campus has its perks as well. There are plenty of restaurants such as Union Restaurant, Delifrance, Grove, Super Super Congee & Noodles, so we don’t need to rush to the main campus to have our meal. We may buy a cup of coffee from Starbucks during the lecture break too! Another factor is transportation. If you go from Kowloon or the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, you can get off at the West gate, where you can get to Haking Wong Building by walking up the stairs and then taking the lift. You can go back by reaching the Hill Road bus stop through the flyover called ‘勁過橋’ (Super-​pass Bridge as directly translated) right next to the Run Run Shaw Tower. When the university’s MTR station was put into practice, reaching the campus will be even more convenient! As to learning facilities, most of them are relatively clean and new. The Chi Wah Learning Commons, Music Library and Law Library are the ideal places for study.
