The Lui Seng Chun building stands testament to a century-long entrepreneurship in Hong Kong and a prominent family history. Designed by foreign architect W. H. Bourne in 1929, the beautiful structure expressed the style of the Chinese eclectic with carefully crafted and designed western elements. At the time construction completed in 1931, it stood at a location that overlooked what was then the shipping and logistics hub of Kowloon, close to the pier. This location was also selected because it was right next to the warehouse that the Hong Kong Government allocated to Lui’s shipping business. The Lui family has donated this historic monument to the Hong Kong Government, which in turn engaged the Baptist University's School of Chinese Medicine in revitalizing it. As a campus and community clinic for the BU School of Chinese Medicine, Lui Seng Chun is where the vision of the Lui family lives on. Free guided tour for the public is available for sign up.

Lui Seng Chun is a Grade I historic building situated at the Lai Chi Kok Road and Tong Mi junction in Mong Kong. This is a pre-war era shophouse (Tong Lau) that is a blend of Western and Chinese architectural style, a popular way of designing buildings during the first half of the 20th century. The building was constructed in 1931 by the Mr. Lui Leung, one of the founders of our local KMB Bus company (1933), for his family and to conduct business. What you see is a delightful curved facade with each floor having its own balcony. The ground floor pillars and urn shaped balustrade on the second and third floor are also unique. It appears that the building was used as a traditional shophouse until Mr. Lui Leung died in 1944. In later years, it was let out to tailors and was eventually deserted in the 1980s. The Liu family then donated the property to the Antiquities and Monuments Office of the HK Government in 2000 where it was given historic grade status (2003), ensuring its preservation and protection from sale or demolition. Since 2012 it has been repurposed under a conservation initiative and is now being put to use by Hong Kong Baptist University School of Chinese Medicine.

If you're in the area, take a few minutes to stop by the ground floor to visit the Chinese medicine museum and try some tea. Staff here are friendly and welcoming. The photos around the shop are interesting and tell the story of the building's previous owners. The iconic design is intriguing, and I'm thankful that the Baptist University has helped to keep it alive and well.
