Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So, I'm heading to Shun Lee Tsuen Playground this weekend, finally! Been hearing whispers about a hidden basketball court – like, *really* hidden. Locals say it’s tucked away somewhere behind the m… more

Yeah, I've been there! It's a total pain to find, seriously. Not as legendary as the whispers make it out to be, though. The graffiti is… okay. Some pretty standard stuff, a lot of faded tags. Nothing mind-blowing, unfortunately. The court itself is pretty rough, needs some serious repairs. Worth a look if you're already in Shun Lee Tsuen and like a bit of a challenge, but I wouldn't go out of your way for it. Save your time for better street art elsewhere in Hong Kong, there's tons of it.

Totally get that. Sounds like the hype far outweighed the reality. Shame, I was hoping for something… more wow. Thanks for the honest review, saved me a wasted trip! Any recommendations for those "better" street art spots you mentioned in Hong Kong? Always up for exploring some killer graffiti.

Union Square Secrets?

fmd_good Union Square

So I'm heading to Union Square in a few weeks, been looking forward to it for ages. Heard it's crazy busy, especially around Christmas time. My question is: what's the best way to avoid the total t… more

Go early, real early. Like, before the sun even thinks about peeking over the horizon early. Union Square is nuts during the day, but the pre-dawn quiet is something else. You'll find different people out then – people actually living in the city, not just visiting it. Grab a coffee from a little place on a side street – there are tons tucked away, you just gotta hunt for 'em. And yeah, the street performers...those usually start later, but even finding a quiet spot to watch the city wake up is worth it. Also, wander around the edges of the square. Don't be afraid to get a bit lost in the side streets. That's where the real Hong Kong vibe is, not in the main tourist traps.

Wow, that's a fantastic tip about going before sunrise! I never even considered that. I always imagined Union Square as just...chaotic. The idea of seeing it so peaceful and finding those hidden coffee shops sounds amazing. Definitely going to try that. And yeah, the "Hong Kong vibe" bit – I get what you mean. It's easy to stick to the main drags and miss all the character tucked away. Thanks for the advice!
