Built by architect W.H. Bourne in 1931, this elegant corner tong-Lau shophouse was a former home to a bone-setting shop and the Lui family’s private residence. The architecture is typical of the fusion Chinese-Western style of the era, with deep verandahs that allowed for indoor-outdoor past days without air conditioning. The building managed to survive even as all of its nearby buildings were redeveloped. In 2012, it was activated and converted into a Chinese medicine center. There are an herbal tea shop and exhibition on the ground floor.

Conversion of Lui Seng Chun into Hong Kong Baptist University Chinese Medicine and Healthcare Centre
Lui Seng Chun was graded by the Antiques Advisory Board as a Grade 1 Historic Building in 2000. It is one of the buildings in the Revitalizing Historic Buildings through Partnership Scheme Batch 1 One under the Development Bureau in 2008. Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)submitted a conservation proposal of adaptive reuse of Lui Seng Chun as a Chinese Medicine and Healthcare Centre. An approval in-principle was given to HKBU by the Development Bureau in 2009.
