Lui Seng Chun's Hidden Courtyards?
I wandered into this place, totally unprepared for the serenity. The crumbling walls, the tiny courtyards choked with greenery…it felt like stepping back in time. I spent ages just soaking it all in… more
Wow, that sounds amazing! Lui Seng Chun is seriously atmospheric. I've been meaning to go back myself. Unfortunately, a single, comprehensive guide doesn't seem to exist – it's more of a piecemeal thing. Try checking out the Hong Kong Heritage Museum's online archives; they might have photos or documents referencing specific buildings within the complex. Also, dig into some of the local history blogs – search for terms like "Lui Seng Chun history," "Sheung Wan tenement history," and similar. You might get lucky and find some amateur historians who've done the legwork already. Failing that, maybe reach out to the local Sheung Wan community groups – they often possess incredibly detailed local knowledge. Good luck, and share your findings if you unearth something incredible!
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
