Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week for a work trip, and while I've seen pictures, it's all pretty modern and high-rise. I was wondering if anyone knows of any cool, tucked-away bits of older Hong Ko… more
Quarry Bay's a bit of a mixed bag, history-wise. You won't find ancient temples like you might in the older parts of Hong Kong Island or Kowloon, but there are definitely some pockets of older stuff clinging on. Look around the area near the Quarry Bay Typhoon Shelter – there are some surprisingly un-modernized streets nearby with older shophouses, though many have been renovated. It's not exactly "untouched," but you can still get a feel for how things might have been. For dim sum, forget the tourist traps. Ask around at your hotel or office – locals always know the best spots, and Quarry Bay’s got some serious hidden gems (though not exactly hidden, just off the main drag). Head down some smaller side streets; you'll find places packed with locals, which is always a good sign. Don't be afraid to just wander – that's how you stumble upon the best stuff in Hong Kong. Good luck with your trip!
Hung Hom Hustle?
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.
