Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
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.

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?

The Mid-Levels escalator is a total trip. For local eats, check out the little dai pai dongs tucked away along the way – they're often hidden gems themselves! Seriously, you'll find some awesome, cheap eats that way. For a killer lunch view, aim for somewhere near the top – you'll have spectacular views of Victoria Harbour. Look for places with outdoor seating; you won't regret it. Don't be afraid to just wander and explore; that's half the fun.
