LuiSengChun Built in 1931, LuiSeng Chun is a four-story building located at 119 Lai Chi Kok Road. “LuiSeng Chun” was the name of a Chinese bone-setting medicine shop on its ground floor, which came to be regarded as representative of the development of local Chinese Medicine (“CM”). The building was later named after this shop. HKBU was in 2009 awarded the opportunity to revitalise the Grade I historic LuiSeng Chun building by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government. The revitalisation work was completed in April 2012, and since then LuiSeng Chun has been offering a full range of CM specialty services / treatments to the public.
