    Hi friends. My name is Alan from Discovery Walking Tours TV and thanks for watching this video. I managed to find the Montane Mansions in Quarry Bay and was astounded by how densely packed it is. Have you been lived in such a dense apartment block before? Let me know in the comments before.

    So convenient for the people living in these apartments. Shops and restaurants in the ground level. Don’t have to go much further.

    During Colonial Hong Kong times, the Hakka stonemasons settled in the area after the British arrival.[3]
    This area was a bay where rock from the hillsides were quarried and transported by ship for building construction or road building. The Chinese name Tsak Yue Chung (鰂魚涌) reveals that it was a small stream where crucian carp (鰂魚) could be found in the 19th century. The English name was Arrow Fish Creek.[3] The original bay has disappeared since land reclamation has taken place, and was about 700m from the current coastline.

      Wished I had time to do a walkabout before starting my filming. Only now do I know there are other blocks as well in that estate area. Although I'm told the area I started in is considered the most photogenic 😁

  • @cherdchanchiravoraphat1978

    Thanks so much.🙏👍👏 This video shows me to know the location of Quarry Bay where Li Ching the most famous star of Hong Kong had stayed (The mermaid.& The Three Smiles.).She died in 2018 at the age of 69 . It’s so sad 😭.She was the one who make me feel to study chinese language in my childhood.😊

      It's a tram. It's one of main modes of public transport along Hong Kong island and an interesting ride. Managed to squeeze onto one just to experience it 😁

    If I said this place was filled with my childhood memories even though I had never been to, do you believe ? Simply, because lots of legendary cinematic scenes had been taken here.

      Hong kong is one of the industrialized and modern city in the world. in fact it is so expensive to live in HK..

      @bldomain Před 3 lety

      @@Lee_Xian- I know HK is expensive but it still look like 2nd world to me compared with China. My heritage is Cantonese living in SE Asia as a 3rd generation Overseas Chinese. I feel that Cantonese are quite chaotic although they are very good businessman and having superb food. But they don't have a sense of order and aesthetic in their presentation and in the up keeping of their environment. These is evident of them in my country and Chinatown around the world who are dominated by the Cantonese.
      As a comparison let me take you for a walk in China. czcams.com/play/PLOcyzJdsH2qoFwUJ0X7eJWFpGpeUBnaQx.html
