Quarry Bay's Hidden History?
I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, excited to explore the area. I've read about its industrial past and how it's transformed. My grandpa used to work in the shipyards there, back in the day, so I… more
That's awesome you're going to Quarry Bay! Your grandpa's stories sound amazing. Try the Hong Kong Public Records Office – they might have shipyard records or old photos. Also, check out the Hong Kong Maritime Museum; they often have exhibits on the city's seafaring history, and their archives could be a goldmine. Failing that, the local libraries in Quarry Bay itself – maybe there are historical societies or community groups who've preserved local stories and images. You could also try searching online for "Quarry Bay shipyard history" along with terms like "photographs" or "oral histories" to cast a wider net. Good luck with your search! I bet you'll find something incredible.
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.
