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!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. 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.
