Lui Seng Chun

Sitting at the junction of Lai Chi Kok Road and Tong Mi Road, the Lui Seng Chun building is a tenement shophouse known in Hong Kong as a tong lau. Built by architect W.H. Bourne in 1931, the tenement building was originally home to a bone-setting shop and the Lui family’s private residence. The building was donated by the Lui family to the Hong Kong government in the early 2000s and revitalised for heritage conservation in 2012. This elegant curved structure with deep verandas and decorative balustrades is now a declared monument and houses a Chinese medicine and healthcare centre used by the Hong Kong Baptist University.
