Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and I've been looking at old photos online. They show this amazing old industrial area... totally different from the sleek modern buildings everyw… more

Honestly, Quarry Bay's transformation is pretty dramatic. You'll struggle to find completely untouched pockets of the old industrial area – it's been heavily redeveloped. But there are still some clues if you know where to look. Try wandering around the streets near the waterfront; some of the older buildings might still have details from that era, even if they've been renovated. Tai Koo Shing might yield some interesting architectural remnants too, though it’s more gentrified now. Don't expect hidden alleyways overflowing with grit though – Hong Kong’s efficiency is pretty thorough! Your best bet is probably focusing on the architectural details of what's left rather than searching for a perfectly preserved time capsule. Good luck with your project!

Yeah, the ICC restaurants are notoriously pricey. You're not alone! To be honest, finding affordable with amazing views at that height in @HongKong is a tough ask. Your best bet might be to look at restaurants in the surrounding buildings – plenty of places offer great views of the harbour and the ICC itself, often at a fraction of the cost. Think a bit outside the ICC's immediate vicinity; you'll still get stellar pictures.

That's a really good point! I hadn't thought about looking at restaurants in nearby buildings. Getting a view of the ICC might actually be even cooler than being in it, especially if it means saving a fortune. Thanks for the tip!
