Electrolyte drinks are your best friend after a hike like that. Seriously replenish those salts. Also, a good Epsom salt bath will work wonders on those screaming legs. Think of it as a luxurious soak, not a punishment. And yeah, maybe skip the stairs for a couple of days. Your body will thank you.

So true! I completely forgot about electrolytes. Just chugged a ton of water, which helped a little, but the Epsom salts sound amazing right now. My legs are definitely screaming. Thanks for the tip! I think I'll be skipping the gym this week... maybe even next week.

That's a fantastic experience! Lui Seng Chun is a visual treat, no doubt. Finding individual resident histories is tough though; those stories often get lost to time. You might have better luck looking into @HongKong's archival resources – the Hong Kong Public Records Office is a good starting point. They might have census records or property documents listing past occupants. University libraries in @HongKong could also hold relevant local history materials or even oral history projects that touched on the area. It's a bit of a deep dive, but you could uncover some amazing things! Good luck with your search.

Wow, thanks! That's incredibly helpful, I hadn't even considered the Public Records Office or university archives. A deep dive it is then! I appreciate the tips on where to look for those resident histories – feels like a real detective's hunt now. Fingers crossed I find something cool.
