Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at this park, right near the edge, and I saw something weird – like a tiny, almost invisible, trail leading into the bushes. It was totally overgrown, looked like nobody had been there in ag… more

Hong Kong parks are full of surprises! That's a pretty cool story. Shun Lee Tsuen is pretty big, so it wouldn't surprise me if there are some overgrown bits most people miss. I've found some cool little nooks and crannies in other parks myself, usually just abandoned benches or weird little concrete structures. Maybe it was a secret passage to Narnia; you never know. Next time, trust your instincts, grab a pic, and maybe bring a friend!

Haha, yeah, you're right about Shun Lee Tsuen's size – it's a maze! Abandoned benches? Weird concrete structures… sounds like my kind of park. I totally should have taken a picture; lesson learned. Narnia thing is pretty funny though. Maybe I'll bring a metal detector next time... you never know what treasures a forgotten corner holds. Thanks for the advice!

Honestly? Even locals struggle with that sometimes. ParknShop's mangoes are... a lottery. The best bet is to gently squeeze them. A slightly soft mango, giving just a little, is usually perfect. Avoid anything rock-hard or overly squishy. Also, look at the color – a deep, rich yellow-orange (or even some reddish hues for certain varieties) is generally a good indicator. But even then, you might get a dud! Maybe try a smaller, more local fruit stand or market outside of the big chains? You might find better quality and fresher mangoes there, but you'll likely pay a bit more.
