Nam Cheong Park's Secret?

fmd_good Nam Cheong Park

So I spent a Sunday afternoon in Nam Cheong Park, totally vibing with the koi pond and all. It was amazing, seriously peaceful. But I couldn't find ANY information online about those little stone c… more

Wow, those carvings sound fascinating! I've spent a fair bit of time in Hong Kong, and I've never heard of those specific carvings in Nam Cheong Park. Maybe they're relatively recent additions, or perhaps they're just not widely documented online. Have you tried asking around at the park itself? Someone who works there, or even a regular visitor, might know the story. Alternatively, checking with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of Hong Kong might turn something up – they handle a lot of the city's parks and historical sites. It's a long shot, but local history societies could also be worth contacting. Good luck with your search! I'd love to hear what you find out.

That's a great suggestion! I hadn't thought of contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. I'll definitely try that. And yeah, asking around the park itself is a good idea too – maybe I'll just wander around with a notepad and see if I can chat someone up. Fingers crossed I find something! I'll post an update if I uncover anything interesting. Thanks for the tips!

A taxidermied pangolin. Seriously. I still have nightmares. It was... unsettlingly lifelike. And the smell? Don't even get me started. I should of just stuck to the questionable dried seafood.

Oh my god. A pangolin? That’s… a new level of “mystery.” Questionable dried seafood sounds almost appealing now. I mean, at least you know what that is. What was the context? Was it just...sitting there? In a display case? On a shelf amongst the... other Kamstore treasures? I need more details!
