We went a bit out of our way (I saw on Google that it was ‘down the road’ from where we were staying. Turns out that ‘down the road’ can still mean far away, in Hong Kong!) to see the Lui Seng Chun building, a grade 1 listed property that’s got some classic architecture. Apparently it’s also haunted too, although I didn’t see any scary faces in the large windows.

I know, I know. Hong Kong, again! I’m not wealthy- I just keep spending all my money on going there. I don’t think they say ‘Fourth Times the Charm’ but this trip was just that - a success. For almost the entire time I kept my mental health issues at bay. It was a good trip. After three disasters - It is really nice to say that.

Lui Seng Chun is an old Chinese shophouse (tong lau) originally owned by Mr. Lui Leung, a renowned businessman who moved to Hong Kong from Taishan county in Guangdong province. Designed and built by architect W.H. Bourne, the building was completed in 1931 with a total gross floor area of 600 square metres. Typical of all tong laus at the time, the ground floor of the four-storey building was used as shops while the upper floors were used as dwellings.

The structural system for Lui Seng Chun consists of reinforced concrete shallow pad foundations supporting granite columns with reinforced concrete beams, floors and walls. Its architecture reflects the Neoclassical style which is characterized by a square-shaped frame and a row of decorative balustrades in front. The deep verandahs help prevent rain from flooding the house, block sunlight and keep the indoor area cool. This together with the stone plaque marked with the name of the medicine shop installed at the top of the building are all typical architectural features of pre-war Chinese tenements. The main facade of the building was lavishly decorated with classical Italianate designs, one of which is the "broken pediment" at the shop. The curved front elevation was designed to make better use of the narrow strip of land restricted by the road junction. In terms of structure, the external walls of the building are made of plastered red brickwork with columns and beams of reinforced concrete. Lui Seng Chun is regarded as the representative of "Kee-lau" of the pre-war period in Hong Kong.
「雷生春」表現了新古典建築風格，這可從其方型框架及其上的欄桿裝飾得見其建築特色。建築物寬闊的露台能抵禦風雨及阻隔陽光，有助降低室內氣溫。大樓頂層外牆嵌有家族店號的石匾，這些設計都是本地戰前騎樓的典型建築風格。大樓正面設計甚為精緻，富有古典義大利風格，如樓頂凹凸不平的山牆即為一例。至於大樓的弧形主立面，則是為了遷就道路交界的窄角而特別設計。結構方面，「雷生春」的外牆為紅磚身外加灰泥批盪；樑、柱則以鋼筋混凝土製造。「雷生春」可說是香港戰前騎樓式建築的代表。

I am getting closer and used wide angle. The result is having tighter composition and more distortion.

雷生春位於香港九龍旺角荔枝角道及塘尾道交界，是具古典意大利建築特色的唐樓，業權原本由九龍巴士創辦人之一雷亮（又名雷鴻維）持有。雷生春大宅於1931年落成，樓高4層，總面積約600平方米，上層為住所，地面為店舖。建築物的名字源於對聯「雷雨功深揚灑露，生民仰望藥回春」，寓意雷生春的藥品能夠妙手回春。
自上世紀60年代開始，雷氏家族成員人口漸增，相繼遷離，至70年代大宅空置。2000年，古物諮詢委員會評定雷生春為一級歷史建築，雷氏後人為保存故居並回饋社會，把雷生春捐贈給浸大中醫藥學院，後被港府列為一級歷史建築，2012年4月更活化成為非牟利機構經營的中醫診所。2022年5月，香港特區政府正式將建築物列為法定古蹟。
