Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

Yeah, I totally get that vibe. Lui Seng Chun has this amazing, almost melancholic beauty. It feels like a secret whispered across time, doesn't it?

Failing that, the Hong Kong Maritime Museum might have some exhibits or information pertaining to the old docks, or at least know who to contact. They often collaborate with local history groups. Good luck digging up your grandfather's past – it sounds like a fascinating story waiting to be told!
