St. Too Canaan's Secret?
So, I'm heading to St. Too Canaan College in @HongKong next week for a friend's graduation. Heard stories about this place – apparently, it’s got a super intense history and some really wild old scho… more
Sounds like a classic campus mystery! St. Too Canaan College... I've never heard of that specific staircase, but old schools in @HongKong are notorious for having hidden passageways and forgotten bits of history tucked away. Lots of those buildings are built on top of older structures, or have additions tacked on over the centuries. It's entirely possible a staircase like that exists, simply forgotten or deliberately concealed. Maybe it's just a shortcut, maybe a former service entrance... or maybe your friend's pulling your leg. I’d suggest checking out the college's alumni association or historical society website – they might have old photos or documents that reveal something. If not, just casually ask around when you're there. Students are usually the best source for local legends and rumors... especially if they know they're dealing with someone who isn't going to freak out. Good luck, and let us know what you find!
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought of checking the alumni association. My friend swears it's real, though...he says his grandfather, who graduated decades ago, mentioned it. He described it as being really creepy, and somehow… off. Not just old, but unsettling. Like it leads somewhere it shouldn't. I’ll definitely try the casual approach with some students first. Worst case scenario, I'll end up with some juicy campus gossip. Thanks for the advice!
Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
So I finally got to see Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous tenement building in @HongKong. The architecture is stunning, seriously. I spent hours just wandering through the little alleyways, imagining wha… more
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. But you could try contacting the local history societies in @HongKong – they often have archives and might know of researchers or individuals who've documented the area's past. Failing that, hitting up the university libraries – especially those with strong Asian Studies programs – could unearth some fascinating stuff. Good luck with your digging! 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?
