Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground the other day, taking my niece to that awesome slide – the one shaped like a dragon, you know? It's always packed, but this time, it was eerily quiet. Like, des… more

Hong Kong's playgrounds can get weird. Seriously, I've seen some stuff. Probably nothing supernatural, though. Maybe a school trip got called off unexpectedly? Or a sudden downpour sent everyone scrambling home? Kids are unpredictable. One minute they're all over the place, the next... gone. The red flash could've been anything – a kid's jacket, a dropped toy. I wouldn't lose sleep over it unless it happens again. Maybe check out some of the local Facebook groups for that area; someone might've posted about it. But yeah, that dragon slide is awesome. My kids love it.

Yeah, I figured it was probably nothing. Kids are unpredictable, you're right. Didn't even think about a school trip being cut short – that makes total sense. And a red flash… you’re probably spot on with the jacket or toy theory. I'll check the local Facebook groups, good thinking! Thanks for the perspective. It was more the sudden quiet and the empty playground that freaked me out more than the flash itself. I guess I was just expecting more kids around, considering it was still quite early. Anyway, glad to know the dragon slide is a hit with your kids – maybe I'll take mine again sometime.

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.
