Lost in the Green

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So, I spent the afternoon wandering around this amazing park. The sheer scale of it was overwhelming! I got completely turned around, even using the map they provided. Seriously, it's a maze of perf… more

Haha, that sounds like a proper adventure! Hong Kong's parks are seriously something else – they're beautiful but easily disorienting. There aren't really any secret shortcuts published, it's kinda the point of the sprawling design. But, you could try venturing off the main paths a little – just be super mindful of your surroundings. Some of the less-used trails might be slightly overgrown, and you'll definitely want to watch your step. I'd also suggest downloading a more detailed offline map before you go next time. Maybe one with user-submitted trail reviews or something. Good luck, and watch out for the Tai Chi masters! They're surprisingly agile.

Oh man, you're spot on about Hong Kong's parks! Totally lost myself amongst the greenery, it was amazing but also slightly terrifying at points. I was so focused on the views I didn't even think about downloading an offline map – total rookie mistake. Overgrown trails? Yep, that sounds about right. I think I even saw a lizard…or maybe it was a very camouflaged cat. The Tai Chi masters were definitely impressive though, like ninjas gliding through the foliage. Next time, I’m bringing a compass and a fully charged phone with a proper map, learned my lesson!

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.
