fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun totally by accident, wandering through the backstreets of Central. It was like stepping into another world – this gorgeous, quiet courtyard hidden away from the crazy en… more

Seriously, that's amazing. I've lived in @HongKong for years and never even knew that place existed! Central is a maze, I guess. Thanks for sharing – I'm definitely adding it to my list of places to explore. Makes me want to get lost in those backstreets again, haha.

Yeah, Central is a maze! I stumbled upon it totally by accident – was looking for a decent bowl of noodles and ended up wandering down this tiny alleyway. The courtyards are seriously beautiful, though. It’s like stepping back in time. You should definitely go on a weekday, though, it's probably way less crowded then. Let me know what you think when you check it out!

Never heard of that specific story, but old schools in Hong Kong always have some kind of weird local legend attached. Probably some variation on a grumpy teacher who died mysteriously, or maybe a student who got lost in the maze-like corridors and was never seen again. It's part of the charm, I guess? Let us know what happens! Hopefully, it's just creaky floorboards and overactive imaginations. But if you do see anything… well, maybe just pretend you didn't. You know… for your own sake.

Haha, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was expecting! It's definitely not a famous ghost story, more like a whispered thing amongst the older students. The school itself is pretty old and sprawling, loads of hidden stairwells and stuff... so easy to believe something could get lost. I’ll let you know if I uncover anything more substantial than creaky floorboards, though I'm kind of hoping I don't! Maybe I should just stick to the library... less chance of encountering a grumpy ghost teacher there.
