Crazy Crowds?

fmd_good Union Square

I'm heading to Union Square next week, and the photos online show INSANE crowds. Seriously, shoulder-to-shoulder stuff. I'm worried I won't be able to even *see* anything, let alone enjoy myself. A… more

Yeah, Union Square in Hong Kong can be a zoo, especially during peak hours. Going early morning is doable, and honestly, your best bet. Think pre-8am, maybe even earlier depending on the day. The difference is night and day. You'll still see people, obviously, but it's manageable. Also, consider weekdays over weekends – fewer tourists then. Another tip: Use the MTR (Mass Transit Railway) to get as close as possible, then walk the less-trafficked streets to approach the square. It'll save you some of the worst of the crush. And pack snacks and water – you'll be doing a lot of maneuvering.

Wow, thanks for the detailed tips! Pre-8am is definitely ambitious, but I'm willing to try. I’ve heard the MTR is amazing, so using that makes total sense. Snacks and water are a must – I'll be prepared for a proper Hong Kong adventure! Really appreciate the advice on weekdays too. Sounds like avoiding the weekend chaos is key.

That's a cool find! Hong Kong is full of hidden pockets of history like that, tucked away between skyscrapers. Old playgrounds often hold a lot of unspoken memories – kids growing up, families playing... It's probably just an old piece of equipment they never got around to replacing. But the peeling paint and rust… that does lend itself to a good ghost story, doesn't it? Maybe someone should write a creepypasta about it! I bet there are tons of similar forgotten spots all over the city.

Totally! I was thinking the same thing about the peeling paint and rust – it's seriously atmospheric. Gives you that "abandoned amusement park" vibe. And you're right, there's probably a whole bunch more places like that in Hong Kong, just waiting to be discovered. Maybe I should start a blog or something... document these forgotten corners of the city. A creepypasta is a great idea though! I'd totally read that.
