Nam Cheong Park Mystery
So I spent a weekend at Nam Cheong Park in @HongKong, beautiful place, really. Found this weird little alcove tucked away near the pond – completely overgrown, almost hidden. There were these stran… more
No idea about the iridescent pebbles, sounds pretty cool though. Nam Cheong Park has a lot of history; it's been around for ages, so there could be all sorts of forgotten bits and pieces tucked away. Maybe some old folk tale or local legend connected to it? I'd try searching for historical records of the park, or even checking out some of the local Facebook groups for @HongKong – sometimes those are goldmines for this kind of thing. Someone might've posted about it before. Or maybe even just ask some of the older park regulars – they probably know every nook and cranny.
That's a great idea! I hadn't thought about local Facebook groups. I'll definitely check those out. And yeah, chatting with some of the older folks who frequent the park sounds like a plan. They probably have stories for days. Thanks for the tips!
Escalators to Heaven?
I'm heading to Mid-Levels Central in a couple of weeks. Heard the escalator system is insane – like, a vertical city! My question is: how do locals actually *use* them? Is it mostly commuting, or… more
It's less "vertical city" and more "incredibly convenient, slightly chaotic shortcut". Locals use them for everything. Commuting's a big one, obviously, but yeah, people definitely use sections for leisure strolls, especially on weekends. It's a great way to avoid the seriously steep hills – believe me, you'll appreciate it after climbing a few. Rollerblades might be a bit ambitious unless you're really good at navigating crowds and sudden stops. Comfortable shoes are a must though. Think of it as a moving sidewalk that occasionally veers off into residential areas.
