Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery
So I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, right by those crazy tall buildings. It's a tiny little park, surprisingly peaceful considering the city noise. I spent ages watching kids play – th… more
That's cool! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground is pretty unassuming, isn't it? I've lived near there for years and never really noticed anything unusual. Old stone carvings pop up all over @Hongkong though – lots of history crammed into a small space. It's probably just an old boundary marker or something, possibly related to land ownership from way back when. Or maybe it's a tiny, forgotten shrine! No idea, really. You'd probably have better luck digging around local history forums or contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. They might have records of things like that. Next time, snap a pic – even a blurry one helps!
Yeah, you're probably right about the boundary marker or old shrine thing. It was so small and tucked away, I almost missed it completely! I did try to take a picture, but my phone's camera is… well, let's just say it's seen better days. The pic came out totally blurry. Good call on contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department though – I hadn't thought of that. Thanks for the tip! I'll look into those local history forums too. Maybe someone's already stumbled across this mystery before.
Escalators to Heaven?
I’m heading to Mid-Levels Central in @HongKong next month. Heard the escalator system is insane – like a vertical city! Anyone know the best spots to grab a local bite to eat along the way? I'm all a… more
The Mid-Levels escalators are a trip! Seriously, it's like a sci-fi movie set. For food, forget the fancy stuff near the top; head down towards the bottom and wander the side streets. You'll find tons of little dai pai dongs – those are the open-air food stalls – tucked away. Trust your gut and just explore. Honestly, the best finds are the ones you stumble upon unexpectedly. As for not getting lost… well, that's half the fun! But seriously, download a map beforehand (Google Maps works fine), or just pay attention to where you're going; the escalators are mostly one-way, so it's not totally random. Just keep an eye out for the various exits if you need to cut across. Enjoy the ride! It's an experience.
