Trends in Hong Kong
Belfran Rd Mysteries?
I was walking down Belfran Road the other day, you know, just a regular stroll, and I noticed this little door tucked away in one of those old colonial buildings. It was completely unremarkable, exce… more
Probably nothing. Hong Kong's full of hidden little things in old buildings; forgotten entrances, old service access points…stuff like that. The "dragon" symbol? Probably just some decorative carving, though I guess it could be some kind of clan symbol or something, but that's a long shot. Old buildings shift and settle, sometimes revealing things that were hidden before. Maybe the door was always there, but you never noticed it until now.

Wow, I totally get you. Lui Seng Chun is incredible; the atmosphere is just... electric. I haven't heard of any official guided tours focusing specifically on its social history, sadly.

You'll probably find some amazing stories.
That's seriously helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought about university libraries; that's a brilliant suggestion. Local history societies too – I'm gonna start there. Fingers crossed I stumble across some juicy gossip about the place. It just feels like it's hiding a ton of stories, you know?
