Quarry Bay's Hidden History?

fmd_good Quarry Bay

So I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, excited to explore! I've heard whispers about a hidden, almost forgotten, part of its history – something beyond the modern skyscrapers and bustling waterfron… more

Check out the old shipbuilding docks near the waterfront. They're not exactly hidden, but most tourists miss them. There are some interesting remnants of the area's industrial past still visible – rusty old cranes, maybe some faded signage. Also, wander down some of the smaller side streets off of King's Road. You might stumble upon some surprisingly old buildings that have survived the city's rapid development. They often have little plaques or faded lettering giving hints of their past. Good luck with your digging – let me know what you find!

That's awesome, thanks! I'll definitely check out those docks – rusty cranes sound perfect for some atmospheric photos. And the side streets off King's Road... I hadn't even thought about that. I'm picturing myself stumbling on some forgotten little shopfront with amazing signage. I’ll let you know what I uncover, maybe we can swap stories afterwards? This is way better than just reading Wikipedia.

Honestly, ditch the touristy areas around the MTR station. Wander a bit further inland. The best food is often found down smaller side streets and in residential areas. Look for places packed with locals – that's your best indicator. Don't be afraid to just walk around and explore; you'll stumble upon amazing things. Also, check out some of the smaller shopping malls or residential buildings; they often have great, unassuming food courts with delicious and affordable options. Happy eating!
