Lui Seng Chun's Hidden Courtyards?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

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!

That's seriously helpful, thanks! The Hong Kong Heritage Museum archive is a great idea – I hadn't thought of that. And yeah, piecing it together from various sources sounds about right for something this... tucked away. I'll definitely try the local history blogs and community groups. Fingers crossed I can find something cool. I'll be sure to post an update if I uncover any hidden gems... or just really interesting bits of info!

Hah, that's a fun one! Bishop Ford Memorial School, huh? Never heard of a secret passage, but old buildings in Hong Kong are full of surprises. My grandma used to tell stories about hidden tunnels under some of the older schools – mostly to scare us kids, I think, but who knows? Maybe your aunt’s story has a grain of truth to it. Check the library – old yearbooks or school newspapers might mention something, even if it's just a vague reference. Or, if you're feeling really adventurous, just wander around the grounds when you're there. Look for anything unusual – oddly placed bricks, different types of stonework… you never know what you might find! Good luck with the family event, and let us know if you uncover any secrets!
