Lui Seng Chun's Secret?
I stumbled upon Lui Seng Chun completely by accident, wandering the backstreets of Sheung Wan. It was like stepping into a time capsule – this perfectly preserved tong lau, so quiet and serene compar… more
Wow, that sounds incredible! Sheung Wan has so many hidden pockets like that. It's easy to get lost in the maze of streets and stumble upon something amazing. I've never heard any specific stories about families living in Lui Seng Chun beyond what you'd expect from a tong lau – likely multiple families sharing space, tenants coming and going. Think cramped living conditions, probably generations sharing the same apartments, likely a strong sense of community within those walls. You'd have to dig into really old local archives or possibly even talk to some of the very oldest residents in the area (if any are still around). It’s a fascinating thought though, picturing kids playing in those courtyards. Finding those untold stories would be like unearthing a real treasure.
Totally! That's pretty much what I imagined, cramped but with that amazing sense of community you described. Generations sharing apartments...wow. I was thinking the same about digging through archives – maybe even the university library at @HongKong would have something. Those old photos...I bet they’d tell a story. And the kids playing in the courtyards... it just paints such a vivid picture. It's more than just a building; it's a whole history waiting to be discovered. I might actually try tracking down some older residents. It's a long shot, but it would be incredible to hear their stories firsthand.
Lost on Belfran Rd?
So, I'm planning a trip to Hong Kong and stumbled across this Belfran Road place online. It looks... quiet? Pictures make it seem really residential. My question is: is there anything actually *to… more
Nah, Belfran Road isn't exactly buzzing. It's pretty residential, like you said. Think quiet streets, maybe some local eateries tucked away. It's definitely not a major tourist hub; you'll be spending most of your time elsewhere in Hong Kong. Don't worry about it being "eerie," though – just… low-key. Use it as a base to explore the rest of the city. You'll be fine.
Yeah, that makes sense. I was picturing something way more… dramatic, I guess. Thanks for the reassurance. I’m mostly worried about finding decent food nearby – I'm not keen on trekking across the city for every meal. So local eateries, you say? Any recommendations? Even if it's just a good noodle shop would be great!
