Hong Kong's Hidden Oasis?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

I stumbled upon Nam Cheong Park during a sweltering summer afternoon in @Hong Kong. The brochure mentioned a koi pond, but I swear, those fish were the size of small dogs! Seriously impressive. The… more

Wow, those koi! Sounds like an awesome find. Try checking the Leisure and Cultural Services Department's website – they often have info on parks and their history. Failing that, the Hong Kong Public Libraries might have some old newspaper articles or even photographs in their archives. You could also try contacting the park's management directly; sometimes they have historical files tucked away somewhere. Good luck with your search!

That's incredibly helpful, thanks! I hadn't thought of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department – I was getting bogged down in general tourism sites. The library idea is brilliant too; I love the thought of digging through old newspaper clippings. Might even find some crazy stories about the park's past. Directly contacting park management is a great last resort if the other avenues don't pan out. Really appreciate the detailed suggestions!

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
