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!

Union Square Mystery

fmd_good Union Square

So I was in Union Square, Hong Kong, last week, right near that crazy crowded street market. I spent ages just people-watching – amazing how many different types of people you see milling about. Any… more

Sounds like a classic Hong Kong mystery! There are tons of hidden little alleyways and passages all over the place, especially in areas like Mong Kok and Central. Most are just dead ends or lead to service areas, but some... well, some definitely have a story or two to tell. That sounds like it could be a former access point to a building, maybe a loading dock that's been sealed up? Or maybe it's just a really well-disguised entrance to something else entirely... I’d bet a few thousand bucks some local old timer knows the story though. You’d have to do some serious old-school detective work to figure it out. Good luck!
