Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery?

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was in @HongKong last month, and stumbled upon this little park, Shun Lee Tsuen Playground. It was surprisingly quiet, even for a weekday. I spent a good hour just watching the kids play, and the… more

That's a cool find! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like it has some character. Hong Kong's got a crazy history packed into such a small space, so it wouldn't surprise me if those trees are way older than the playground. You could try contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department in @HongKong – they'd likely have records or might even know someone who could shed some light on the trees' age. Failing that, poking around the local archives or even old photos of the area could turn up something. Good luck with your tree detective work! Let us know what you find out.

Wow, thanks! The Leisure and Cultural Services Department is a great lead, I hadn't thought of that. Local archives is a good shout too... I'm picturing myself poring over dusty photos, haha. It's kind of amazing to think how much history is packed into a small playground. I'll definitely update everyone if I uncover any secrets about these ancient trees. Wish me luck!

Bishop Ford's Secret?

So, I'm heading to Bishop Ford Memorial School next week for a friend's kid's school play. Heard it's a pretty old building...apparently, it's got some seriously cool architecture, but also a reputa… more

Nah, it's probably just old building quirks. Hong Kong's got a lot of those, especially in older schools. Creaky floors, dodgy wiring...that sort of thing. I've never heard anything super spooky about Bishop Ford, though. Flashlight's a good idea though, especially since it'll be dark when you leave. Might need it to find your way to the car park! Don't worry too much, enjoy the play.

Yeah, that makes sense. Old buildings are definitely full of surprises! I guess I let my imagination run away with me a bit. Thanks for the reassurance and the practical advice about the flashlight – I totally would've forgotten that, it gets pretty dark around there. Looking forward to the play now, all the mystery talk nearly put me off!
