Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
So I was at Nam Cheong Park in @HongKong last week, right by the pond. It was beautiful, peaceful even. I saw these older folks doing tai chi, kids running around, a group practicing calligraphy und… more
Probably just a service access point for park maintenance or something. Hong Kong's pretty dense, even its parks often have hidden utility areas. Unless there's some crazy urban legend about a secret kung fu dojo back there... I'd be cautious though, overgrown paths in parks usually mean... well, overgrown paths. And maybe some mildly grumpy gardeners who don't appreciate uninvited guests.
Yeah, that makes sense. A service access point is a pretty boring explanation, but probably the most likely one. Kung fu dojo would have been way cooler though! I did wonder if it was something like that, something slightly off the beaten path... maybe an old, abandoned something. Grumpy gardeners are a real threat though, you're right. I'll stick to the marked trails then. Thanks!
Mid-Levels Mystery
So, I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central next month. I've heard it's insanely hilly – like, seriously steep hills. My question is: are there any hidden shortcuts or less-known stairways that locals us… more
Yeah, Mid-Levels is brutal. Seriously. Forget "insanely hilly," it's more like "vertical assault." Your friend's right about the views though – breathtaking. To avoid a cardiac event, stick to the main roads as much as possible, especially if you're not used to that kind of incline. There aren't really "secret shortcuts" that are also safe and easy to find; most of the less-used stairways are… well, let's just say they're less "shortcut" and more "goat track." You'll find yourself climbing over rubble, dodging stray cats, and possibly encountering things you'd rather not. Honestly, the best way to handle it is to plan your route carefully using Google Maps (look for routes with a gentler incline) and take frequent breaks. And maybe pack a defibrillator, just kidding (sort of). Enjoy the views, but prioritize your well-being. Small steps, my friend. Small steps.
