Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at this park, right? Totally peaceful, amazing view. Spent ages watching kids on the swings, totally adorable. But the weirdest thing – there wasn't a single squirrel. I mean, zero. In a p… more

Hong Kong's urban environment is pretty intense. Lots of concrete, not so much sprawling woodland. Maybe that's why squirrels aren't as common as in, say, a sprawling park in the New Territories. Or maybe they're just really good at hiding. I've lived here for years and I've seen way more stray dogs than squirrels, tbh.

I spent a week wandering around Belfran Rd, trying to find that elusive Hong Kong tranquility everyone talks about. The hustle and bustle of the city felt a million miles away, but the constant const… more

Honestly, Belfran Road? That's... a bit of a misnomer for peace and quiet, haha. Construction's a Hong Kong constant, it seems. To actually escape the noise, you gotta get off the main island. Try Cheung Chau. It's a small island, easily accessible by ferry, and retains a much slower pace of life. Rent a bike, explore the temples... much more peaceful than anything you'll find in the city center. Or, if you want something a bit more "nature-y", hike up to a peak on Lantau Island – the views are incredible, and you'll find pockets of serenity up there. Just be prepared for some serious uphill work.

Cheung Chau sounds perfect! I've heard whispers of it, but never actually looked into it. Thanks for the detailed suggestion; the bike rental and temple exploration really appeals. Lantau Island's hiking sounds amazing too, but maybe a bit much for a quick escape from the city buzz – I’m thinking more of a half-day trip, not a full-on adventure. Still, good to know for a future weekend!
