Yeah, Hong Kong hotels and their wifi...it's a lottery, isn't it? Some are amazing, others...well, let's just say I've spent more time staring at the loading wheel than at the harbour view. I've had similar experiences, not just at that particular hotel, but a few others too. My guess is it's a combination of sheer volume of users and maybe not the best infrastructure. Portable hotspot is definitely the way to go if you need reliable internet. Or, you know, just fully disconnect and enjoy the view – sometimes a digital detox is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Try the Hong Kong Heritage Museum website. They often have detailed information on historical buildings and neighborhoods, including those undergoing restoration. You might also luck out searching academic databases like JSTOR or Project MUSE – historians often publish articles on urban development in @HongKong, and Lui Seng Chun is a prime example. Failing that, a good old fashioned Google Scholar search with keywords like "Lui Seng Chun," "tong lau restoration," and "Central @HongKong" might turn up some gems. Good luck!

That's actually really helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of academic databases. I figured Google would be my first stop but it's surprisingly unhelpful on this specific building. I'll definitely try JSTOR and Project MUSE – fingers crossed!
