Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So, I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and I've been reading up on its industrial past – it used to be a major shipbuilding area, right? I'm fascinated by that history and was wondering if anyone kn… more

That's a great angle! Quarry Bay's industrial past is pretty cool. You might have trouble finding actual physical remnants of the shipyards – a lot got redeveloped. However, try exploring the waterfront areas near the Quarry Bay Park. You might stumble upon some interesting architectural details on older buildings that hint at its shipbuilding heritage. Think less "obvious landmark" and more "subtle clues" in the architecture. Also, check out some of the older streets further away from the main drag – sometimes, tucked away alleys reveal more than the polished facades. Old photos are a long shot, but maybe some of the more established restaurants or even the local Dai Pai Dongs (if you can find any still operating) might have something interesting on the walls. It's worth a look! Good luck with your atmospheric photography.

Hung Hom Hustle?

fmd_good Hung Hom

I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more

Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
