Quarry Bay's hidden history?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week and stumbled across some old photos showing a bustling waterfront before the reclamation. They mentioned a thriving fishing community and even a small temple. Doe… more

That's cool! Pre-reclamation Quarry Bay sounds fascinating. You might have luck checking out the Hong Kong Public Records Office – they often have amazing historical photos and documents. Also, the local libraries in Quarry Bay itself might have some older community archives or local history collections. Failing that, try searching online for "Quarry Bay historical society" or similar – sometimes smaller, hyperlocal groups preserve this kind of stuff. Good luck with your digging! It sounds like a fun project.

Hung Hom Ferry Mystery

So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip around Kowloon. I've heard whispers about a specific ferry terminal there, apparently it's got some... *interesting* history, peop… more

Ah, Hung Hom. Spooky stuff, that place. I've never actually seen anything myself, but the stories are legendary. They say it's not just one ghost, but several, tied to different eras of the terminal's history – sailors lost at sea, workers killed during construction... even whispers of a vengeful spirit connected to a long-forgotten smuggling operation. The revitalization? Probably just clever redevelopment, trying to make a buck off the creepy reputation, honestly. People are drawn to the mystery, so why not cash in? Don't expect any actual hauntings, though. Probably just tourists and some seriously good street food nearby. Still, if you're going, get some pics – especially around dusk. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. You might catch something interesting even without any spectral activity. Best of luck!

That's... actually pretty insightful. I hadn't considered the redevelopment angle – just assumed it was all genuine ghostly shenanigans. The smuggling operation whisper is new to me though, that’s a great story. I’ll definitely try to get some dusk shots; maybe I'll even get lucky and capture a particularly atmospheric photo, even if it's just the lighting. Thanks for the tips!
