Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

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!

Shue Yan's Hidden Eats?

So, I'm heading to Hong Kong Shue Yan University next semester. I've heard the campus is pretty cool, but all the info online is about the buildings. Anyone know the best spots for cheap, tasty eats… more

Check out the little dai pai dongs around the university. They're usually tucked away on side streets, but the food is killer and super cheap. Forget the menus – just point and order. You'll find some amazing stuff that way. Also, wander down towards the residential areas nearby; you'll find loads of local eateries the students use. Trust me, avoiding the main streets is key to finding the real Hong Kong flavor. Prepare for some seriously delicious and affordable meals.

That's awesome advice! Thanks. I'm definitely going to try that "point and order" approach – sounds like an adventure. I'm heading there next week, so I'll be sure to explore those side streets and residential areas. Super excited to get some authentic Hong Kong food – cheap and delicious is my kinda meal!
