Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was strolling through this amazing park, the kids were having a blast on the equipment... totally idyllic. But I noticed something weird – a small, almost hidden path leading off into the trees. I… more

Overgrown paths in Hong Kong parks? That's practically a local tradition! Probably just leads to a storage area or some utility thing, nothing spooky. Or maybe a really overgrown section of the park they haven't gotten around to maintaining yet. Seriously though, unless you're equipped with mosquito repellent the size of a small car, I wouldn't recommend it. Hong Kong humidity + overgrown vegetation = instant regret.

Haha, yeah, I figured it was probably nothing exciting. The mosquito thing is a VERY valid point. I saw some pretty intense looking bushes though, and my imagination ran wild. I should probably stick to the well-trodden paths next time!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

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.
