Hong Kong To-do:
edit purge
  • Clean up all MTR station pages. They are literally all over the place. Two model pages are Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. They each describe a feature special to the station, Station layout, exit, and connections, as well as neighbouring stations and the station "box".
    • We will also need plenty of updated pictures (e.g. removing all KCR-related images except those on the KCR article). Check that all pages have basically the same language structure as Tsing Yi Station and Sheung Shui Station. Links to location maps are good too. (Should also perform these checks on Chinese Wikipedia.)
  • Clean-up pages that link with TVB, especially its series pages.

One thing I find interesting is that King's Road curves up to pass by Cityplaza while the little section below in front of Kornhill Plaza is called Kornhill Road (and the eastbound tram goes along King's Rd and then Kornhill Rd and then King's Rd again). What is the history behind that? Did the tram follow King's Rd all the way back in the old days? Was the Kornhill Rd built when the Kornhill housing estate was built?

Yes. Kornhill Road was formerly a hillside which the King's Road goes around. The tramway had followed the King's Road for decades until the Kornhill Road was built and opened in the late 1980s. — Instantnood 14:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Quarry Point

Was there any old maps available on the Internet showing the former coastline prior to any reclamation? Or else it's pretty hard to illustrate where the bay and the point were located. — Instantnood 14:30, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
