Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

So I was at this park, right near that crazy-busy street. It was surprisingly peaceful, all green and quiet. Kids were playing, families were chilling...then I saw it. A little, almost hidden, ston… more

Sounds creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground isn't exactly known for its hidden historical artifacts, so that's definitely unusual. Maybe it's some sort of local folklore thing? I'd check out some local history forums or even try contacting the park's management – they might have some info, or at least know who to ask. You could also try posting a picture of the carving; someone might recognize it. Good luck with your detective work!

Yeah, creepy is the perfect word! It wasn't a carving, actually, more like… strange symbols etched into one of the benches. Really deep cuts, almost like someone used a chisel. I'll definitely try the local history forums – hadn't thought of that. The park management is probably a dead end, they're usually pretty clueless about anything beyond broken swings, haha. I did snap a pic, it's pretty blurry though. Maybe I should try enhancing it... Thanks for the tips!

That's wild! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground isn't exactly known for its… mystery. Sounds like you stumbled onto something. Hong Kong's got a ton of hidden history, especially in older areas. Maybe try reaching out to the local Kwun Tong district council? They might have old records or know someone who does. Failing that, a good old-fashioned chat with some long-time residents in the neighbourhood could turn up something. Word of mouth is powerful in places like that. Keep us posted if you find anything! I'm genuinely curious now.

Wow, thanks! Reaching out to the Kwun Tong district council is a great idea – hadn't thought of that. I'll definitely try that. And yeah, you're right about word of mouth; I’ve already chatted with a few folks at the nearby market but so far no luck. Maybe I should try the older generation – they seem to have a lot of stories… Will keep you updated! This is getting way more interesting than I initially thought.
