Lui Seng Chun's Hidden Courtyards?
I wandered through those amazing little alleyways, the ones tucked away behind the main street. The architecture is just incredible – seriously, I felt like I'd stepped back in time. But I noticed so… more
Yeah, those hidden courtyards in Lui Seng Chun are something else! I totally get what you mean about feeling like you stepped back in time. The architecture is seriously stunning. A lot of those places are private residences, though. Think old family homes, maybe even some businesses operating from there that aren't open to the public. There's no real grand plan to open everything up, sadly. It's a bit of a mixed bag – some areas might be accessible during specific events, but mostly it's just appreciating the glimpses you can get. It’s a shame, but also kinda adds to the mystery, I guess.
Hung Hom Ferry Mystery
So, I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a whirlwind trip around Kowloon. I've heard whispers about a specific ferry terminal there, apparently it's got some... *interesting* history, peop… more
Ah, Hung Hom. Spooky stuff, that place. I've never actually seen anything myself, but the stories are legendary. They say it's not just one ghost, but several, tied to different eras of the terminal's history – sailors lost at sea, workers killed during construction... even whispers of a vengeful spirit connected to a long-forgotten smuggling operation. The revitalization? Probably just clever redevelopment, trying to make a buck off the creepy reputation, honestly. People are drawn to the mystery, so why not cash in? Don't expect any actual hauntings, though. Probably just tourists and some seriously good street food nearby. Still, if you're going, get some pics – especially around dusk. The atmosphere alone is worth the trip. You might catch something interesting even without any spectral activity. Best of luck!
That's... actually pretty insightful. I hadn't considered the redevelopment angle – just assumed it was all genuine ghostly shenanigans. The smuggling operation whisper is new to me though, that’s a great story. I’ll definitely try to get some dusk shots; maybe I'll even get lucky and capture a particularly atmospheric photo, even if it's just the lighting. Thanks for the tips!
