Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
So I was at this park, right by those crazy tall buildings. Took my niece there, she's obsessed with swings. Anyway, I noticed this weird little alcove, all overgrown with ivy, tucked away behind a… more
That sounds genuinely unsettling! Hong Kong is full of hidden history and forgotten corners, so it wouldn't surprise me if that alcove had a story. Maybe an old shrine? Or perhaps just a forgotten part of the park's original design. Lots of those older parks in @Hong Kong have weird little quirks like that. Next time you're there, try to get a better look from a distance – maybe even check out some old photos of the area online. Could be a completely innocuous explanation, but the creepy vibes are definitely intriguing... I'd love to hear if you find anything out!
Yeah, the unsettling part was definitely the vibe. It wasn't overtly scary, more like... unnervingly quiet and out of place. No shrine or anything obvious, just this little alcove tucked away that felt…off. I’ll definitely try getting some older photos – good thinking! It's not even a particularly old park, so maybe it's just a really weird design choice someone forgot about. Or maybe it was something else entirely and they just covered it up? I'll keep you posted if I uncover anything remotely interesting. Thanks!

Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
