Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun while wandering through @HongKong's Central district. The intricate carvings and the quiet air were a stark contrast to the bustling streets outside. It felt like stepp… more

I wonder if there are any old photos or documents somewhere that could shed more light on its past... maybe some dusty archives somewhere in @HongKong? Makes you want to dig a bit deeper, doesn't it?

I haven't stayed at the Caritas Bianchi Lodge specifically, but I have experienced everything from a pathetic trickle to a surprisingly forceful jet in various older places in the city. Pack a travel showerhead if you're really worried – those things are lifesavers. Or, embrace the potential for a slightly less than invigorating rinse. It's all part of the adventure, right?
