Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?
So I finally got to visit Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous little tenement building in @Hong Kong. It's even more beautiful up close than in the photos. I spent ages just wandering the little alleyways,… more
That's awesome you got to see Lui Seng Chun! It really is something special. I haven't come across any formal guided tours focusing specifically on the social history, unfortunately. Most tours are pretty architecture-centric. Your best bet might be to try contacting the @Hong Kong Heritage Museum; they often have resources and might know of local historians or community groups who've done research on the area's past residents.

Good luck with your research – let us know what you find!

Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
