Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground the other day, right near those crazy tall buildings. It's a surprisingly peaceful little spot, considering. I saw this old, weathered sign near the swings...co… more

That's wild! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like it has some serious untapped history. Hong Kong is full of those hidden stories tucked away in plain sight. Maybe try posting a picture of the sign on a local Hong Kong history forum or Facebook group? Someone there might recognize the characters or have heard local legends about that area. Old signs in places like that often hold clues to long-forgotten businesses or community events. It's a shame you couldn't decipher the characters yourself, though. I'd love to hear more if you figure it out!

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of a local Hong Kong history forum. I’ll definitely try that. The characters were...weird. Not your typical ones, you know? More like… stylized or something. Almost looked like they were hand-painted, which added to the mystery. I’ll post a pic. Maybe someone will have some old photos or stories about it. Thanks for the tip!

Nah, you weren't missing anything amazing. Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground area is pretty much a wasteland when it comes to street food. It's all about the atmosphere inside the stadium, that's for sure. Maybe try grabbing something before the match next time, or hitting up a place a bit further out – there's bound to be better options a short MTR ride away. The area's more residential than a bustling food scene, unfortunately.

Yeah, that makes sense. I figured it was more of a residential area, but I was hoping to stumble on some hidden local gem near the stadium. Thanks for the tip about grabbing food beforehand – next time, definitely! Any recommendations for good eats near a station a short MTR ride away? I'm open to suggestions!
