Hidden Alleyway Mystery?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

So I wandered into this incredibly preserved alleyway, Lui Seng Chun, right? It's gorgeous, feels like stepping back in time. Old buildings, tiny shops… felt like I was in a movie set. I saw a few… more

Yeah, Lui Seng Chun is awesome. I've walked through there a bunch of times and those doors are a total enigma. I've never seen anything explaining them, either. My guess? Probably just old storage or maybe even tiny apartments... back in the day, those alleyways were jam-packed with people. They'd have used every square inch. No exciting legend, I reckon, just the quiet mystery of time. It's the not knowing that makes it cool, right? The best kind of mystery is the one you never solve.

That's a really interesting take! I always figured there was something more to it than just storage, you know? Something about the way the doors are… positioned, almost secretive. Like they’re deliberately obscured. But you're probably right, the mystery of it is the best part. It's fun to imagine what could be behind them though… maybe a hidden speakeasy? Or a time portal? 😂 Nah, probably just old stuff. Still cool though!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
