Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and stumbled across some old photos online showing a really vibrant waterfront area back in the 60s and 70s, before all the modern development. It looked completel… more

That's a great question! Quarry Bay's transformation is pretty dramatic. Sadly, dedicated museums specifically on that era of Quarry Bay are few and far between. You'll probably find more success looking into the Hong Kong Heritage Museum in @Sha Tin – they often have rotating exhibits on different periods of Hong Kong's history, and you might get lucky. Otherwise, your best bet might be just wandering around – look for older buildings that might've survived the redevelopment, maybe some tucked away alleyways. Sometimes the architecture itself whispers stories, even if no plaques are there to explain them. Good luck with your historical detective work! You might even stumble upon something amazing.

Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.

That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
