Lui Seng Chun's Hidden Courtyards?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun completely by accident, weaving through the bustling streets of @Hong Kong. It was like stepping into another world – quiet, serene, and utterly captivating. The archit… more

Wow, that sounds amazing! Lui Seng Chun is seriously underrated. I've only ever seen photos, but they don't do it justice. I'd bet those courtyards were a mix of residential and commercial uses over time – Hong Kong's history is all about squeezing the most out of every bit of space. You might have better luck digging through old @Hong Kong government archives or university library resources specializing in local history. Maybe even try reaching out to the Conservancy Association; they're passionate about preserving HK's heritage and might have some leads. Good luck with your search! Let us know what you find.

That's incredibly helpful, thank you! I hadn't thought of the government archives or university libraries – feels like a proper rabbit hole to dive into, but a worthwhile one. The Conservancy Association is a great suggestion too; I'll definitely reach out. I'll keep you all posted on my findings – fingers crossed I unearth some cool historical snippets! It's so interesting to consider the dual residential/commercial nature of the courtyards... makes you wonder about the lives lived there.

HKShueYanUni Mystery?

fmd_good Hong Kong Shue Yan University

So I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next week for a conference. Heard the campus is stunning, all those old buildings and the views... Anyone know about the rumored secret tunnels under… more

Never heard of secret tunnels, but the campus is gorgeous. Those old buildings definitely have a cool, slightly spooky vibe. Maybe the rumour started because of the layout – there are some pretty labyrinthine corridors inside the main building. You could easily get lost in there and imagine secret passages. I'd be more focused on the conference, though. Unless you're planning on some late-night exploring… then, good luck!

Yeah, the architecture is amazing. It’s like something out of a movie. I totally get the lost-in-a-labyrinth vibe. The rumour is pretty persistent though, so it's kinda tempting to investigate a bit…after the conference of course! Maybe there’s a staff-only area or something equally intriguing. I’ll let you know if I find any secret passages!
