Here are some tips for accommodation for those staying in the University Guest House

1. Check-in and check-out time
   You may check-in the University Guest House after 1 pm. Check-out time is on 12 noon.

2.  Internet Services
   All rooms have free Wi-Fi service. Wi-Fi is also available in most indoor area of the CUHK campus. We will provide you a login ID with password in the morning of 22 January when you register.

3. Sockets in Hong Kong the 3-prong British type or Type G/BS 1363 (see the photo below) so you will need to purchase a travel adapter. The voltage in Hong Kong is 220-240V/50Hz. Most modern computer devices are rated for 110V-240V/50Hz-60Hz (V = volts), but smaller appliances may not be, so please check your device. YOU CANNOT PLUG IN A LOWER VOLTAGE APPLIANCE (e.g. 120V) INTO a higher voltage outlet without a step-up transformer converter! It will fry your device and be a potential fire hazard!

4. Food and Necessities

Generally speaking, the canteens at the campus open from 8am to 8pm. If you wish to grab some snacks after 8pm, you may want to go to the Women Workers’ Corporation for some Hong Kong style dumplings and cakes, which is open until 11pm. The Women Workers’ Corporation is located near to the swimming pool at the Benjamin Franklin Centre.

Furthermore, there is a supermarket, Park n’Shop, which is open from 8:30am to 9pm located under the Benjamin Franklin Centre. It is small but you should be able to obtain basic necessities there.
