Trends in Hong Kong
Lui Seng Chun Mystery?
So, I'm heading to Lui Seng Chun in @HongKong next month. I've seen all the photos – the gorgeous restored architecture, the hidden courtyards... but all the online stuff focuses on the *look* of the… more
Went last spring. It's...pretty. Definitely heavily Instagrammed, so expect other people snapping pics. The courtyard is lovely, though. Quietest time will probably be a weekday morning – early, before the tour buses roll in. I wouldn't call it manicured, more like... carefully preserved. It still feels a bit lived-in, thankfully. There aren't really hidden gems within it, it's fairly small, but wander into the smaller side streets nearby afterwards – you'll find some more interesting, less polished spots. Just be aware it’s quite central so it’s never going to be completely deserted.
Ah, that's helpful, thanks! Weekday mornings it is then. Sounds like the Instagram hype is justified, at least in terms of the courtyard. Good tip about the side streets – I'll definitely explore those. Appreciate the heads-up about it being busy, though; I wasn't expecting complete solitude, just... less of a scrum.

Look for places with long queues of locals – that's usually a good sign. And don't be afraid to try something you've never heard of! That's half the fun. You'll probably find some stuff you love and some you don't... that's just part of the adventure. Have a blast!
