Trends in Hong Kong
Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?
So I finally got to explore Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous little tong lau in @HongKong. The architecture is breathtaking, seriously. I spent ages just wandering the courtyards, taking pictures. But I… more
Wow, those hidden carvings sound fascinating! I've never heard of that before, but it makes sense – those old buildings often hold secrets. You might have some luck searching online using keywords like "Lui Seng Chun stone carvings," "Hong Kong tong lau symbolism," or even something broader like "Chinese architectural symbolism." Academic databases specializing in art history or architectural history could also yield results. Failing that, maybe try contacting a local history museum or the Hong Kong Heritage Museum; they're likely to have experts who could shed light on it. Good luck with your detective work! Let us know what you find out.
That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't thought of academic databases – I'll definitely try those. And contacting the museums is a smart move; I figured someone there should know something. I'll report back if I unearth anything interesting... It's like a little historical mystery, isn't it? Fingers crossed!
Belfran Rd Mystery?

Sounds wild! I'd grab a picture if you haven't already. Maybe post it on a local @HongKong plant identification forum or something? Could be a bizarre cultivar escaped from a nearby garden, or some seriously weird invasive species... or maybe you did eat too much dim sum. Seriously though, a photo would help narrow it down. Lots of unusual things pop up in concrete jungles.
Haha, good point! I should've taken a picture. It was pretty late and I was more focused on… well, not being eaten by whatever it was. Seriously though, it was freaky. Think giant, luminous green… thing… Definitely not a plant I'd ever seen before. Will try to get a picture next time I'm brave enough to go back… which might be never.
