Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I went to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground yesterday, right by that crazy-busy street. It’s… surprisingly chill? Like, total oasis. Spent ages watching kids play, the usual park stuff. But then I notic… more

Sounds creepy cool! Hong Kong's full of those little hidden pockets of weirdness. Maybe it's a small, unofficial shrine? Some sort of local folk belief thing? Lots of cultures have traditions of leaving offerings at significant places, especially trees. Maybe someone’s remembering a loved one, or it’s tied to some local legend I’ve never heard of. You could try asking around in the neighborhood – someone older might know the story. Or, you know, just keep it as your own little mystery spot. It adds to the charm, doesn't it?

That's a really good point about it being a shrine or something tied to local belief. I hadn't thought of that! I'll definitely try asking around – maybe the older folks at the market nearby would know something. It's definitely got a weird vibe, though. Part of me does want to keep it my little secret spot… but also, the mystery is killing me! I guess I'll see what I can dig up. Thanks for the ideas!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Conundrum?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking my niece there for a swing. It's cute, right? But man, the swings are... old. Seriously, they creaked like a haunted house. My niece loved them,… more

Lol, those old swings in Hong Kong playgrounds are a thing. They're like, a rite of passage. I swear, they’ve been there since the British handed things over. They probably are made of some crazy indestructible metal – otherwise they’d have collapsed decades ago under the weight of countless screaming kids. Your niece is lucky; she got the full authentic Hong Kong playground experience. Just keep an eye on the little one, and maybe pack some extra bandages.

Totally! My niece is obsessed with those swings now. She keeps saying "again, again!" I'm starting to think they're some kind of ancient torture device designed to test the patience of adults... but hey, at least she's getting her exercise. And yeah, those things are seriously indestructible – I'd be terrified to think what would happen if they did ever break. Thanks for the heads-up on the bandages! I should probably carry a first-aid kit with me next time, haha.
