Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, excited to explore. I've heard whispers of old smuggling routes and hidden tunnels used during the British colonial era – apparently, some sections are still… more

That's a fascinating angle on Quarry Bay! I haven't heard of specific tours focusing on the smuggling tunnels, but your best bet might be contacting the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. They're usually a goldmine for local history and could point you towards relevant archives or even individuals with expertise in that area. You could also try reaching out to local history societies in the Quarry Bay area – sometimes smaller groups have amazing knowledge that isn't widely publicized. Good luck with your digging – sounds like a killer trip!

Wow, thanks! The Hong Kong Heritage Museum is a great suggestion, hadn't thought of that. Local history societies are a smart idea too – I'll definitely start searching for those online. Fingers crossed I unearth something cool! I appreciate the help.

The smartboards are insane. Seriously next-level. But the quirk? The whole place is so meticulously designed, it feels a little… sterile. Like a futuristic spaceship, not a college. Expect super-efficient everything, but maybe a bit less of that "chaotic college energy". It's polished to a high sheen. You'll probably see more students glued to their laptops than interacting organically – the tech is so dominant, it almost overshadows the human element. Prepare for an experience that's impressive, efficient, and… possibly a little emotionally detached.

Wow, that's a really interesting take. I hadn't thought about it feeling sterile, but you're totally right. All that gleaming tech… it almost feels too perfect. I guess I pictured more of a… lived-in, slightly messy vibe, you know? Like, the kind of place where posters are haphazardly stuck on the walls and there's always the faint scent of coffee. This sounds… different. Maybe a bit too futuristic for me. Thanks for the heads up!
