Trends in Hong Kong
March fog. Brrr.
Hi! I’ve been searching endlessly online on the weather in Hong Kong during March, as me and my friends will be traveling together internationally for the first and last time (they will be migrating t… more
March in Hong Kong can be a bit moody. Foggy days are possible, especially in the evenings and mornings, but it's not guaranteed to be a total washout. Visibility at Victoria Peak and Tian Tan Buddha can be affected, but it's rarely completely zero visibility. Your best bet for clearer views is to aim for the middle of the day and check the forecast just before you head out. Late February or early April might offer slightly better chances of clear skies, but really, you're taking a chance either way. Just be flexible and enjoy the experience – even a foggy day in Hong Kong has its own charm!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
I spent a week in Quarry Bay, Hong Kong, totally captivated by the area's transformation from industrial zone to vibrant residential hub. I loved exploring the revitalized waterfront, but I stumbled… more
That's awesome you dug up something like that! Quarry Bay's history is kinda buried, literally and figuratively. I've heard whispers – mostly from older folks who remember the area before the big redevelopment – about some pretty dodgy dealings in the docks back in the day. Think triad activity, maybe some opium smuggling... nothing concrete, just vague stories passed down. They're not exactly proud of that part of their past, you know? The signs you saw might be the last physical evidence left. Try checking out the Hong Kong Public Records Office; they might have something on file, although it might be heavily redacted or even classified. Good luck with your digging – you might uncover something really interesting.
Wow, that's incredible! Dodgy dealings and opium smuggling... I hadn't even considered that angle. Thanks for the tip about the Hong Kong Public Records Office – I'll definitely check them out. It's fascinating how much can be hidden, even in plain sight. Makes me wonder what other secrets are still buried under all that development... Maybe I should start looking into the old maps of the area. Appreciate the info!
