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!
Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
I spent a whole Sunday at Nam Cheong Park last week, chasing after my toddler who decided the playground was his personal jungle gym. Seriously, that kid has more energy than a caffeinated hummingbir… more
Nah, I've never gone down that path myself. It does look intriguing though, all overgrown and mysterious. Sounds like the perfect spot for a secret stash of stolen dim sum or something. Maybe a colony of unusually large, park-dwelling squirrels? Who knows! Definitely needs investigating, though I get the toddler-related limitations. Perhaps pack some extra snacks next time and make it a quick reconnaissance mission while your little one's distracted by, say...a particularly interesting pigeon?
