Quarry Bay

Quarry Bay is a neighborhood in Hong Kong, known for landmarks like the Yick Cheong Building, often called the 'Monster Building,' a popular spot for tourists and photography. Recently, Quarry Bay has been mentioned in news reports due to disruptions on the MTR Island line, which serves the area. Specifically, a partial shutdown occurred, initially lasting 1.5 hours, and later another disruption of one hour, both affecting service between Sheung Wan and Quarry Bay. Preliminary investigations suggest the latter incident was caused by maintenance equipment left on the tracks. These incidents have prompted calls for investigations into possible human error and improved staff training within the MTR Corporation. While not directly related, the area was also mentioned in an article about James Taylor-Foster, a curator visiting the 'Monster Building,' and in an unrelated obituary for David Webb, a market transparency advocate.
