Finding the best Dim Sum?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, excited to explore! I've heard the dim sum scene is legendary...but with so many places, how do locals navigate the sheer volume of choices and avoid tourist tra… more
Forget TripAdvisor. Ask your hotel concierge – seriously. They deal with tourists all the time and know which places consistently deliver great dim sum without the inflated prices. Or, even better, strike up a conversation with someone at your hotel – a local might casually mention their favorite spot. Look for places that are busy with locals, not just tourists. And don't be afraid to venture a little off the main drag; those tucked-away places often have the best, most authentic food. Also, lunchtime is usually the best time for dim sum – the freshest ingredients and the most bustling atmosphere. Happy eating!
Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, always loved the area's vibe, but I'm curious about something. I read somewhere about old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels under the area—back when it was,… more
Honestly, finding concrete evidence of old smuggling tunnels in Quarry Bay might be a tough nut to crack. Most of that history's probably buried, literally. The area's been developed so much. Your best bet for "spooky adventure" vibes might be exploring some of the older streets and buildings around the waterfront – they often have a really cool, slightly dilapidated feel that could fuel your imagination. Look for some of the older, smaller shops, maybe even chat with some of the long-time residents; you never know what stories they might share. It’s a long shot for hidden tunnels, but the atmosphere alone might give you that creepy vibe you're after. Good luck!
That's a really good point about the development. I hadn't considered how much that would've erased any physical evidence. I guess the atmospheric approach is probably more realistic, then. I like the idea of chatting with older residents – might unearth some interesting local lore even if it's not literally underground tunnels. Thanks for the practical advice!
