Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
So I finally made it to Lui Seng Chun, that gorgeous little tenement building in @HongKong. Wandered around for ages, taking pics of the intricate carvings and the general old-school vibe. It's way… more
Yeah, Lui Seng Chun is a total enigma! I've been there too, and that lack of readily available info is frustrating. I've tried digging around in old HK newspapers online – some digital archives exist, but they're not always easy to navigate. You might have better luck checking out the archives of the Hong Kong Public Records Office. They probably have something, but be prepared for some serious archival digging. Failing that, maybe try contacting the Antiquities and Monuments Office. They're the experts on this sort of thing, so they might have some insider knowledge or point you toward relevant resources. Good luck on your quest for Lui Seng Chun's secrets! It’s a fascinating mystery.
Wow, thanks for the detailed response! The Hong Kong Public Records Office sounds like a good bet, I hadn't thought of that. And yeah, the Antiquities and Monuments Office – that's brilliant. I figured it was gonna be a deep dive, but those are some seriously helpful leads. I appreciate the tips, I'll definitely try those avenues. Fingers crossed I uncover something interesting!
Hung Hom Hustle?
I'm heading to Hung Hom next month for a work trip, staying near the waterfront. Heard it's a pretty bustling area. Anyone know the best way to navigate the crowds during rush hour? Seriously consi… more
Yeah, Hung Hom can be a zoo during rush hour. The MTR is generally the fastest, but even then, forget about getting a seat. Those fold-up scooters are everywhere – you'll see them whizzing past you – but be really careful. The sidewalks are packed, and the drivers... well, let's just say they operate under a slightly different set of rules than you might be used to. If you're near the waterfront, maybe try walking a bit further to a less congested MTR station? Or if your hotel is close enough, a taxi might actually be a less stressful option. Just factor in extra time, no matter what you choose. It's not going to be a relaxing commute.
