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!
Sai Kung's Secret Trails?

Oof, Sai Kung can be a beast! Sharp Peak is killer, I agree. Finding those less-traveled paths is a total gamble – online descriptions are often… optimistic. Forget about hidden beaches, you're lucky you even made it back. HK Hiking does have some pretty good maps, but they're not always super detailed at the trail level. Have you looked at AllTrails? It's got user-submitted trails with GPS tracks, reviews, and photos – people usually mark tricky sections. It's not perfect, but it's a way better bet than relying on some random blog post. Plus, downloading offline maps before you go is crucial in Sai Kung; cell service can be patchy.
