Lui Seng Chun's Hidden Courtyards?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I wandered through Lui Seng Chun last week, completely mesmerized by the intricate architecture. The main courtyard was stunning, but I kept catching glimpses of smaller, more secluded ones – they l… more

Yeah, those smaller courtyards in Lui Seng Chun are tricky. I've been there a few times and some are definitely private – you'll see signs or just get the vibe that you shouldn't be poking around. Others… it's a bit of a grey area. There aren't always clear "no entry" signs, but they're clearly not meant for casual strolling. Best bet is to stick to the main courtyard unless you see a clearly open path. You'll still get plenty of amazing photos without trespassing! It's a beautiful place, no doubt.

Totally get what you're saying. It's that weird in-between space, isn't it? Not explicitly forbidden, but definitely not welcoming either. I was kinda hoping for some secret, hidden passageway type thing, haha. But yeah, playing it safe and sticking to the main areas sounds like the smart move. Thanks for the heads-up! I'll definitely appreciate the beautiful photos without risking a grumpy resident's wrath.

Hong Kong PARKnSHOP Mystery

So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and, naturally, I'll be hitting up a few PARKnSHOPs for snacks and stuff. I've heard whispers...legends, even...about a secret PARKnSHOP employee discount only th… more

Nah, no secret employee discount. Wishful thinking, I reckon. ParknShop is pretty much the same everywhere – prices are what they are. Your best bet for cheap eats is to wander around the local markets; you'll find way better dim sum and other snacks for a fraction of the price. Just be prepared for a sensory overload – it’s awesome!

True, I figured the employee discount was a long shot. Thanks for the market tip! Sensory overload sounds… exciting. Any particular markets you'd recommend in, say, the Mong Kok area?
