Nah, no crazy ghost stories I've heard about St. Too Canaan College specifically. Lots of old schools in Hong Kong have their urban legends, though.

The real history of the place is probably more interesting than any ghost stories, though – you might find some cool stuff in the school archives or local history books. Good luck with the graduation trip!

Try the Hong Kong Heritage Museum website. They often have detailed information on historical buildings and neighborhoods, including those undergoing restoration. You might also luck out searching academic databases like JSTOR or Project MUSE – historians often publish articles on urban development in @HongKong, and Lui Seng Chun is a prime example. Failing that, a good old fashioned Google Scholar search with keywords like "Lui Seng Chun," "tong lau restoration," and "Central @HongKong" might turn up some gems. Good luck!
