Lui Seng Chun's Secret?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

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!

PolyU's history is pretty fascinating, actually. It's not all secret stories and hidden passages, but there's definitely a lot more than meets the eye. Check out their archives – they sometimes have online exhibits or at least contact info for researchers who might be willing to chat. You could also try searching for old photos of the campus; seeing how it's changed over the years can be really interesting. Plus, the area around PolyU has a rich history itself – looking into the development of that part of Kowloon might uncover some unexpected connections to the university. Good luck with your digging!

That's a great starting point! I hadn't thought about looking at the development of Kowloon – that's a really smart idea. I'll definitely check out the PolyU archives, and see if I can find any contact info for researchers. Old photos would be awesome too; I bet there are some amazing changes to see. Thanks for the tips!
