St. Joseph's School Mystery?

fmd_good St. Joseph Anglo-Chinese Primary School

So, I'm researching old school photos for a family history project, and I stumbled upon this school's old yearbook online. The 1967 edition has this one kid, Peter Cheung, with a ridiculously blurry… more

Probably just a bad photo. 1967 tech wasn't exactly amazing, and yearbook photos were often rushed affairs. Think about all the variables – lighting, the kid moving, a faulty camera... heck, maybe Peter Cheung just had a really bad hair day that day and they tried to subtly blur him out to spare his feelings. Hong Kong's got enough real mysteries to worry about without getting wrapped up in a blurry photo from a half-century-old yearbook. Unless you find more weird stuff about Peter Cheung in other yearbooks, or other weird coincidences, I'd say this one's solved. Let it go.

Lui Seng Chun's Secret?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong completely by accident, wandering through the backstreets of Sheung Wan. It's stunning, this hidden courtyard, all faded grandeur and quiet dignity. I spen… more

Wow, Lui Seng Chun is amazing. I completely get you – that place has such a vibe. I don't think there are formal guided tours, sadly. It's more of a "discover it yourself" kind of spot. Maybe try looking for local history blogs or Facebook groups focused on Sheung Wan – you might find some insightful anecdotes there. As for dim sum...forget the street food near Lui Seng Chun, head a bit further afield. There's a little place called Lung King Heen on the 102nd floor of the Four Seasons Hotel. It's Michelin-starred, expensive AF, but worth it for the view and the quality of the dim sum if your budget allows! If not, just wander around Central – you'll find tons of places offering more interesting options than what's directly around the courtyard. Good luck with your search!

That's incredibly helpful, thanks! Lung King Heen… wow, okay, maybe for a special occasion. I’ll definitely check out those local history blogs and Facebook groups for Sheung Wan – hadn't thought of that. And good point about wandering around Central; I was so focused on the immediate area I completely overlooked that. Appreciate the tips!
