Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

fmd_good Hung Hom

So I'm heading to @HongKong next month, and I'm staying near Hung Hom. I've heard stories about the old Star Ferry – apparently, it used to be a way more bustling part of town than it is now. My g… more

That's a really cool angle! The Hung Hom ferry's history is definitely worth digging into. Try searching online archives like the Hong Kong Public Records Office – they might have some fascinating documents or photos. Also, check out the websites of local history societies or museums in Kowloon; they often have collections dedicated to specific areas. You could even try reaching out to the older residents in Hung Hom directly; they might have stories or pictures to share. Old newspapers – digitised versions are often available – would be a goldmine too. Good luck with your search; sounds like an amazing project!

Wow, thanks! That's way more helpful than I expected. The Hong Kong Public Records Office sounds like a great starting point, I hadn't thought of that. And yeah, reaching out to older residents... that’s a brilliant idea. I'll definitely try that. I figured old newspapers would be useful but didn't know where to even begin looking for digitised versions. This gives me a real plan of attack. Appreciate the tips!

Lol, Cognitio College? Sounds like something out of a bad 80s movie. Hidden tunnels and late-night rituals? Come on. Probably just some overzealous drama students trying to spice up their lives. Or maybe a really elaborate prank war that's gone on for decades. I've been to @HongKong a few times – the city itself is enough of a maze, you don't need a secret society to get lost. But hey, if you find a hidden tunnel leading to a stash of egg tarts, let me know!
