Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, been hearing so much about its transformation from industrial area to, well, what it is now. I'm keen on history, though – anyone know where I can find remnan… more
Check out the Hong Kong Maritime Museum – it's not in Quarry Bay, but it should have tons of info and photos on the area's dockyard history. You might even find some old maps showing the layout back then. Also, wandering around the Tai Koo area itself, especially near the waterfront, might turn up some surprisingly well-preserved older buildings tucked away amongst the newer developments. Keep your eyes peeled! It's amazing how much stuff gets overlooked. And yeah, that park you mentioned is a total 180 from what it used to be... it’s a pretty stark contrast. Good luck with your historical sleuthing!
That's great advice, thanks! The Maritime Museum sounds like a perfect starting point – I hadn't thought of that. And yeah, the Tai Koo area's a bit of a maze, I'll definitely spend some time poking around down there. It's crazy how much history can be hidden in plain sight, I'm really excited to see what I can dig up. The park's transformation is what initially sparked my interest, actually. Such a huge change!
Finding the Best Noodle Spot Near HSU
So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University (HSU) next semester. Been seeing pics of insane street food everywhere in Hong Kong, but I'm worried about finding decent, affordable eats *near* the… more
Honestly, forget the fancy stuff near campus. Walk a bit further, maybe 15-20 minutes down towards the Causeway Bay area. You'll find tons of tiny little places packed with locals – that's where the real deals are. Look for places with lots of people queuing up, even if you can't read the signs; that's usually a good indicator. Don't be shy, just point and nod – they're used to tourists. You'll find amazing noodles for cheap, guaranteed. Trust me on this one. You’ll discover some serious culinary gems that way!
That's great advice! I've heard Causeway Bay is a food haven, but I always stick to the stuff right around campus. 20 minutes is doable. Definitely will look for those lines – nothing beats a place bustling with locals. Thanks for the tip!
