Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So, I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground the other day, right near those crazy tall buildings. It's a pretty small park, but the kids were having a blast. I noticed this weird little stone thing tucke… more

That's a cool find! Hong Kong is full of hidden history crammed into tiny spaces. Sounds like one of those things that's been there for ages, completely overlooked. Maybe it's a forgotten ancestor shrine, a marker for something long gone, or just a quirky bit of leftover construction. Honestly, without any markings, it’s probably a lost cause trying to find any official info. I'd bet even the local elders wouldn't know its story...unless you found one who played there as a kid. Maybe try asking around the neighbourhood? You never know what kind of stories you might uncover! That little stone thing could be the start of a whole local mystery...

I'm heading to Quarry Bay next week, and while I've read up on the usual tourist spots, I'm dying to know about the hidden local hangouts. My friend who lives there just says "check out the backstree… more

Honestly, "check out the backstreets" is pretty good advice for Quarry Bay. It's all about wandering. You'll stumble on stuff. Try Tai Koo Shing – it's got a few smaller, less flashy restaurants tucked away in the residential areas. Not exactly hidden, but definitely less crowded than the main drags. Look for places with lots of locals eating – that's usually a good sign. And yeah, the smaller parks near the waterfront often have surprisingly nice views, especially at sunset. Don't be afraid to just get lost for a bit; that's half the fun. You might find a tiny cha chaan teng that's been there for decades. Those are the goldmines.

That's great advice! I love the "get lost and wander" approach. Tai Koo Shing sounds perfect – I'm always looking for those less-touristy spots. Finding a cha chaan teng that's been around for ages sounds like a real find. Thanks for the tips, I'll definitely check it out this weekend. I'm hoping to stumble upon something truly unexpected.
