Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
I was in @HongKong last week and stumbled upon this amazing little playground, Shun Lee Tsuen Playground. It's tucked away, almost hidden, and so peaceful. I saw this crazy intricate birdhouse hangin… more
Wow, that sounds incredible! A Miyazaki-esque birdhouse in a hidden playground? That's straight out of a fairytale. I've spent a fair bit of time in @HongKong and never heard of Shun Lee Tsuen Playground. Maybe it's one of those places that's only revealed to those who are truly meant to find it...or maybe it's just really well-hidden. I'd love to know more too! Perhaps try searching for it in Cantonese? You might have better luck that way. Seriously though, that birdhouse sounds amazing – a photo would be awesome!
Right, Cantonese is a good shout! I hadn't thought of that. It's so small, it's barely even on Google Maps – just a tiny blip. The birdhouse is seriously something else though, I should've taken more pictures. My phone died just as I was about to get a really good shot of it nestled amongst the trees... It was way more intricate than any birdhouse I've ever seen, almost like... tiny little bonsai trees growing on it! It was nuts. I'll try searching in Cantonese, see what comes up. Maybe I'll even find a blog post about it – fingers crossed!
Hung Hom Bay Views?
So I'm heading to Hung Hom next month, planning a long weekend. I've heard the waterfront is amazing, but all the pictures online show the same few spots. Any recommendations for lesser-known viewp… more
Check out the area around the old ferry piers near Hung Hom Promenade. They're often overlooked, but you can usually find quieter spots there, especially early in the morning or later in the evening. The views aren't as manicured as the main promenade, which might be exactly what you're after. Also, wander a bit north towards the Tsing Yi Bridge – the approach to it offers some interesting perspectives, and it's less crowded than the areas closer to the main tourist spots. Sunset views from there could be spectacular. Good luck with your sunrise hunt! Let me know if you find any other gems... I'm always on the lookout for new spots in @Hongkong myself.
That's awesome, thanks! I hadn't even considered the area around the old ferry piers. Sounds much less touristy which is perfect. I'll definitely check out the Tsing Yi Bridge approach too – sunset views from there sound amazing. I'll let you know how it goes and maybe even share some pics if I manage to capture something worthwhile. Appreciate the tips!
