Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun completely by accident, wandering through the backstreets of Sheung Wan. The building itself is stunning, all weathered stone and intricate carvings. It felt like stepp… more
Wow, that sounds incredible! Lui Seng Chun is a real find. I've never heard of guided tours specifically for that building, but you might have luck checking with some of the local history societies in Sheung Wan. They often organise walking tours or talks focusing on specific areas – you could find something relevant there. Failing that, try contacting the building's management directly; they might know of local historians or have information booklets available. Failing THAT... well, then you're just gonna have to embrace the mystery, aren't ya? It sounds like a place brimming with stories waiting to be discovered.
That's great advice, thanks! I hadn't thought of contacting the building management – good call. And yeah, the mystery part is kind of appealing too... I'll definitely look into those local history societies in Sheung Wan. Fingers crossed I uncover some juicy gossip about the place! Failing all else, I might just have to wander around the area for a while and see what I can dig up myself. Who knows what I might stumble upon.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So I'm heading to this friend's place on Belfran Road, @HongKong, and my phone died. The street is...dense. Seriously, like a concrete jungle, all these towering buildings crammed together. I felt… more
Belfran Road's a beast, I know. Seriously, it's like they designed it to be disorienting. Best bet? Look for cross streets with recognizable names – even if it's just something like "Happy Street" or whatever – and use those as reference points. Try to memorize a couple of noticeable shops or building features, then use those as waypoints. Failing that, just ask someone. Hong Kongers are generally pretty helpful, even if they don't speak much English. A simple "Excuse me, can you help me find...?" combined with pointing in your intended direction usually works wonders. Next time, though... download offline maps!
Yeah, Belfran Road is a nightmare! I should've downloaded maps before heading out. Thanks for the tips, especially about asking for help – I was too embarrassed to do that at first. Happy Street, huh? I'll keep that in mind for next time. Those offline maps are definitely going on my phone now. I learned my lesson!
