Quarry Bay is an area beneath Mount Parker in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island, in Hong Kong. The western portion of the area was formerly known as Lai Chi. Traditionally being an industrial and residential area, the number of commercial buildings in this district has increased over the past two decades. Quarry Bay is bordered by Sai Wan Ho to the east, Mount Parker to the south, North Point to the west, Victoria Harbour to the north. Administratively, it is part of Eastern District. Quarry Bay is considered as an area surrounded by Kornhill Road to the east, Hong Shing Street and Mount Parker Road to the south, Junction of King's Road and Healthy Street West to the west, Taikoo Wan Road to the north. During Colonial Hong Kong times, the Hakka stonemasons settled in the area after the British arrival; the 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 reveals that it was a small stream where crucian carp could be found in the 19th century.

The English name was Arrow Fish Creek. The original bay has disappeared since land reclamation has taken place, was about 700m from the current coastline; the eastern part of Quarry Bay, namely Quarry Point, was owned by Swire and therefore many places and facilities are named after the company's Chinese name, Taikoo. The river flowed into the bay, however it was shut off from the sea with the construction of the Tai Koo Reservoir to supply fresh water to the Taikoo Dockyard, the Taikoo Sugar factory at Tong Chong Street, the Swire Coca-Cola factory at Greig Road and Yau Man Street; the upper course of the river was converted into a cement-paved catchwater, the lower course is the present-day Quarry Bay Street, with the original estuary near the Quarry Bay Street - King's Road junction. In the mid-1980s, the hillside was converted into Kornhill apartment buildings, the reservoir into Mount Parker Lodge apartment buildings, the Dockyard into Taikoo Shing; the Coca-Cola factory is now apartment Kornville, Taikoo Sugar is now the Taikoo Place, a commercial hub.

The western end of Quarry Bay was part of North Point. From this basis an upmarket entertainment complex, the Ritz Nightclub, was built in the area in 1947; the nightclub was demolished a few years to make way for the construction of apartment buildings during the latter half of the 1950s. Nonetheless for years afterwards the western part of Quarry Bay continued to be known informally as Lai Chi, made more so by the name being homophone to Cantonese for "late as usual" - a reference to King's Road, until 1984 the only thoroughfare in the area and thus infamous for traffic congestion. To this day some buildings in the western part of Quarry Bay are named as "North Point something building", although they are across the modern-day limit of North Point at Man Hong Street / Healthy Street West.

Consisting of 12 buildings distributed along Greig Road and Greig Crescent with a car park at the centre of the development, it was developed by Nan Fung Development. Because of the large size of the development, it serves as the benchmark for premises developed in the late 1970s in the property market; the tower blocks range in height from 28 to 33 floors. Blocks 1 to 5 are at 32 to 40 Greig Road while blocks 6 to 12 are at 27 to 15 Greig Crescent. Taikoo Shing is a private residential development in Quarry Bay, in the eastern part of Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. Consisting of 61 mansions distributed along Taikoo Wan Road & Taikoo Shing Road, it was developed by Swire; the Alexander Grantham was a fireboat of Hong Kong's Fire Services Department. The fireboat was named after former Governor Sir Alexander Grantham; the boat has since been replaced by other vessels. On 10 March 2006, the fireboat was hoisted into its new permanent home in the Central Concourse of Quarry Bay Park, Hong Kong, where it has been converted into the Fireboat Alexander Grantham Exhibition Gallery and was opened to the public as a museum in 2007.

In addition to the fireboat itself, the Gallery houses a number of multimedia exhibits on the vessel's history and on firefighting in Hong Kong.

Kubb is a lawn game where the objective is to knock over wooden blocks by throwing wooden batons at them. Kubb can be described as a combination of bowling and horseshoes. Play takes place on a small rectangular playing field, known as a "pitch". "Kubbs" are placed at both ends of the pitch, the "king", a larger wooden block, is placed in the middle of the pitch. Some rules vary from country to country and from region to region, but the ultimate objective of the game is to knock over the "kubbs" on the opposing side of the pitch, to knock over the "king", before the opponent does. Games can last from five minutes to well over an hour; the game can be played on a variety of surfaces such as grass, concrete, snow, or ice. The alleged Viking origin of the game has led some players and kubb fans to nickname the game “Viking chess”, it is claimed that the game dates back to the Viking Age and has survived since on the Swedish island of Gotland, although there is no evidence of this. The Föreningen Gutnisk Idrott, formed in 1912, does not list kubb as one of the traditional games from Gotland.

The earliest mention of a kubb-like game comes from the second edition of the Swedish Encyclopedia “Nordisk familjebok” in 1911. It is described as a variation of skittles and played with a ball; the game in its modern conception became popular in the late 1980s when commercial kubb sets were first manufactured. The key feature of the game is shared by the games kyykkä and bunnock, both of which come from Karelia or neighbouring areas; the game has now gained international interest, an annual World Championship has been held since 1995 on Gotland. Large kubb tournaments now occur throughout the United States of America. Belgium alone held over 50 tournaments in 2012. On December 13, 2011, Eau Claire, Wisconsin declared itself to be the'Kubb Capital of North America'; the city has hosted the U. S. National Kubb Championship since 2007, is home to Kubbnation Magazine and many clubs and leagues, including the Eau Claire Kubb League, the largest weekly kubb league in the world. In addition, kubb sets are in the local schools, with some schools having kubb units in physical education classes and kubb clubs.

There are twenty-three game pieces used in kubb: Ten kubbs, rectangular wooden blocks 15 cm tall and 7 cm square on the end. One king, a larger wooden piece 30 cm tall and 9 cm square on the end, sometimes adorned with a crown design on the top. Six batons, 30 cm long and 4.4 cm in diameter. Six field marking pins, four to designate the corners of the pitch, two to mark the centreline. According to the US Championship Rules and World Championship Rules, kubb is played on a rectangular pitch 5 metres by 8 metres. Corner stakes are placed; the center stakes are placed in the middle of the sidelines, which divides the pitch into two halves. No other markers are required to demarcate the field's boundaries, although markings that do not interfere with game play are allowed; the king is placed upright in the center of the pitch, the kubbs are placed on the baselines, five kubbs on each side equidistant from each other. Kubbs starting the game on the baseline are referred to as base kubbs; the baseline should run through the center of the kubbs.

For young children, the 8-meter pitch length can be shortened. Two official tournament rulesets available for kubb are the World Championship Rules and the U. S. National Championship Rules. Kubb is played between two teams. There are two phases for each team's turn: Team A throws the six batons from their baseline, at their opponent's lined-up kubbs. Throws must be under-handed, the batons must spin end over end. Throwing batons overhand, sideways or spinning them side-to-side is not allowed. Kubbs that are knocked down by Team A are thrown by Team B onto Team A's half of the pitch, stood on end; these newly thrown kubbs are called field kubbs. The key objective is to keep them close to each other; the player that tosses the kubbs is called the inkastare. If a kubb is thrown out of play, i.e. outside the boundary markers or not beyond the middle line one more attempt is given. If this goes out, the kubb becomes a "punishment kubb" and can be placed anywhere in the target half by the opposing team as long as it is at least one baton length from a corner marker or the King.

If a thrown kubb knocks over an existing baseline or field kubb the field kubbs are raised at the location where they rest, baseline kubbs are raised at their original location. Play changes hands, Team B throws the batons at Team A's kubbs, but must first knock down any standing field kubbs. If a baseline kubb is knocked down before all remaining field kubbs, the baseline kubb is returned to its upright position. Again, all kubbs that are knocked down are thrown back over onto the opposite half of the field and stood. If either team does not knock down all field kubbs before their turn is over, th
