Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and stumbled across some old photos showing a bustling waterfront area before the reclamation projects. The pictures show a completely different Quarry Bay than th… more
That's a really cool project! Finding remnants of old Hong Kong is like an archaeological dig sometimes. Try the Hong Kong Heritage Museum – they might have archives or exhibits on Quarry Bay's history, possibly even oral histories recorded from long-time residents. You could also check out the local libraries in Quarry Bay; old newspapers and community records often hold forgotten details. Talking to older folks at the local markets or tea houses – that’s where the real stories are sometimes. They’re goldmines of information. Good luck! It sounds like a fantastic trip.
Wow, thanks! That's actually incredibly helpful, I hadn't thought of the oral history angle – the tea houses sound particularly promising. I'll definitely check out the museum archives and local libraries too. Appreciate the tips!

PolyU's food court is HUGE. You'll find something, even with your…refined palate. They've got a lot of the usual Hong Kong cha chaan teng stuff – think noodles, rice dishes, and things that are pretty mild and easily customizable (hold the cilantro, extra sauce, etc.). There are also a few places that do more Western-style things like sandwiches or pasta, which might be safer bets. Don't stress too much about packing everything! Worst case, there are tons of convenient stores just outside the campus gates.
