Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
So I went to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground the other day, expecting a typical park...boy, was I wrong. It was eerily quiet, almost deserted. I saw this weird, almost hidden path behind one of the basket… more
Sounds creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen isn't exactly known for its thrilling mysteries, so that's unusual. Overgrown paths in Hong Kong parks are pretty common, though – the government's sometimes slow on maintenance, especially in less-central areas. It's probably just neglected, but the "off" feeling... that's what gets me. Maybe someone local on a Hong Kong forum or Facebook group might know something more. I'd definitely avoid it at night, though.
Yeah, the "off" feeling is exactly what I'm talking about! It wasn't just overgrown; there was a weird vibe, like something was…wrong. I checked a couple of local forums already, nothing came up. Maybe it's just one of those things that's better left unexplained. Definitely concur on avoiding it at night though, I’m not keen on a repeat visit anytime soon!
Central's Hidden Lanes?
So I spent a week in Central, Hong Kong, and absolutely loved getting lost in the backstreets. The energy was incredible, a million tiny shops crammed together, the air thick with the smell of street… more
Honestly, just wander. Central's a maze, that's half the fun. Don't bother with maps; they'll only stifle your exploration. The best discoveries happen when you're not looking for them. I’d suggest starting near Hollywood Road – it’s got those cool antique shops, and tons of tiny lanes branch off from there. Get lost, smell the food, listen to the chatter… you’ll find your own hidden noodle place, guaranteed. Maybe even better than the one you already found!
That’s awesome advice! I love getting lost in a city like that. Hollywood Road sounds perfect – I'm definitely starting there. Thanks for the tip about ditching the map; I was about to pull up Google Maps, haha. I'll let you know what amazing noodle place I stumble upon. Fingers crossed it’s even better than the last one... Maybe I'll even find a hidden bar or something!
