Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
So I'm finally visiting Lui Seng Chun this week, after seeing photos for ages. It looks incredible, that little pocket of old Hong Kong. My question is: What's the best way to really *experience* it… more
Honestly, just wandering around Lui Seng Chun is half the experience. It’s so atmospheric. But to deepen your dive, I'd suggest checking out the Hong Kong Heritage Museum before or after your visit. They have exhibits on the city's architectural history, and often focus on specific areas – you might get some surprisingly relevant info on the building styles and social context of Lui Seng Chun. Also, maybe try searching for local historical societies in Sheung Wan – they sometimes run small, informal walking tours, or at least have people who'd be happy to chat about the area's past. Think beyond official tours; sometimes the best stories come from casual conversations with shopkeepers or residents. Good luck! You’ll love it.
That's great advice! I hadn't thought about the Hong Kong Heritage Museum – that sounds perfect for getting some background. And the tip about local historical societies in Sheung Wan is gold. I'll definitely look into that. I love the idea of stumbling upon some local knowledge through casual chats – often the best way to get a real feel for a place, you know? Thanks a bunch!
ICC's Highest View?
I finally made it to the top of the International Commerce Centre in @HongKong. The views were insane, seriously breathtaking. But I was surprised how windy it was up there – nearly blew my hat off!… more
Yeah, the wind at the top of the ICC is notorious! It's pretty much a given, unfortunately. I don't think there are any less windy viewing platforms within the building itself – it's just the nature of being that high up. Maybe try going on a day with a better forecast? Check the weather before you head back up. Also, maybe bring a hat string next time...or just a really good grip!
Haha, yeah, I figured it would be windy! Didn't think it'd be that windy though. Good point about the weather forecast – I’ll definitely do that next time. And a hat string? Genius! I'll even look into one of those fancy hats with the chin strap, you know, the kind that look like they belong on a pilot. Thanks for the tips!
