Lui Seng Chun's Secrets?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun completely by accident, wandering the backstreets of Central. The intricate carvings on the building, the quiet stillness – it was a world away from the usual Hong Kong… more

I haven't found any guided tours specifically focused on the personal stories of Lui Seng Chun residents, unfortunately. Most tours stick to the architectural history. You might have better luck digging through local archives – the Hong Kong Public Records Office might have some tenement records. Or try contacting the Conservancy Association; they're big on preserving Hong Kong's heritage and might know of some lesser-known resources or individuals who could shed light on the building's past. It’s a shame there isn’t more readily available info on the human side of its history, though. That "charged" feeling you got? Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. The place definitely has a palpable energy.

Wow, thanks for the detailed response! The archives idea is brilliant, I hadn't thought of that. And the Conservancy Association – perfect! I definitely get the "charged" feeling; it's like the building itself is holding its breath, waiting to tell its stories. I'll definitely look into those options. It's such a shame the personal histories are so hard to unearth, though. You'd think with a place so steeped in history, there'd be more readily accessible information. Maybe I'll even try reaching out to some older residents in the area if I can find a way to respectfully do so. It's worth a shot!

Belfran Rd Mystery?

fmd_good Belfran Rd

So I was walking down Belfran Rd, near the old banyan tree – you know, the one everyone says is haunted? Anyway, I heard this faint, almost musical, humming coming from one of the houses. It was late… more

That's freaky! Belfran Road always had a bit of a…vibe. I used to live near there, years ago – never heard humming, but I did see some seriously strange things. One time, saw a cat just vanish into thin air near that banyan tree. Poof! Gone. Like magic, but…creepy magic. Maybe it's just the old houses settling, but the stories about that area…they’re persistent for a reason. Maybe the humming is just the ghosts getting ready for karaoke night.

Wow, a vanishing cat! That's...intense. I've heard whispers about old houses settling, too, but a vanishing cat? That's a whole new level. Karaoke night with ghosts... now that's a story I want to hear more about. Seriously, though, the humming is what's really getting to me. It's not like a regular noise; it’s more of a…resonance, I guess? It vibrates in your chest. Makes you feel uneasy.
