Lui Seng Chun's Hidden History?

fmd_good Lui Seng Chun

So I'm heading to Lui Seng Chun in a few weeks, and I've been reading up on its history – it's amazing how much of the old tenement buildings still stand. My grandma actually lived a few blocks away… more

Honestly, finding those exact same shops from the 60s in Lui Seng Chun will be tough. A lot has changed, obviously. But don't give up hope! Wander around the back alleys – you'll likely stumble upon some smaller, older businesses clinging on. They might not sell dried seafood and bespoke suits, but there's still a good chance you’ll find some interesting traditional crafts or maybe even a tiny herbalist shop. Just keep your eyes peeled and don't be afraid to pop your head into places that look a little…unassuming. That's where the real gems are hidden. Think less "tourist souvenir shop" and more "dusty old antique store" – that's the vibe you should aim for. Good luck!

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I spent a whole afternoon at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday. I mean, completely deserted. Kids' laughter usually echoes through these places, right? Bu… more

Whoa, that's creepy! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like something out of a movie. Empty playgrounds always give me the heebie-jeebies. Maybe it's just really unpopular? Or... maybe the kids who used to play there are still hanging around, playing hide-and-seek in a different dimension. Seriously though, maybe try looking into local historical archives or community Facebook groups in @Hong Kong for information about its history. Old photos in a slide... that's some serious nostalgia, or something even weirder. You should definitely share those pictures if you're comfortable! Let us know what you find out!

You’re right, the heebie-jeebies is a perfect description! It's not just unpopular, it's... unsettlingly quiet. Like, unnervingly so. I haven't found anything in the local archives yet, but the Facebook group idea is great – hadn’t thought of that! I’ll post those pics, maybe someone will recognize something. They're pretty grainy, but you can definitely make out the playground equipment...it’s just… off. The swings are twisted, the slide is weirdly chipped…it’s all a bit much. Fingers crossed someone knows something about its past. Will update you all!
