Nam Cheong Park's Secret?
I spent a whole Sunday afternoon at Nam Cheong Park in Kowloon. Gorgeous views, especially from that little hill near the playground. Seriously, the city skyline looks amazing from there. I saw fam… more
That pagoda? No idea. I've lived near Nam Cheong Park for years and I've always wondered the same thing. I've heard whispers – locals saying it's connected to some old temple that's long gone, maybe even something to do with a forgotten deity. Complete speculation on my part, obviously. But it does add to the charm, doesn't it? It's like a little secret, hidden in plain sight. Maybe you should try asking some of the older folks playing mahjong next time you're there; they might know some local legends. Good luck!
That's actually really helpful, thanks! The mahjong players – brilliant idea. I hadn't thought of that. I always figured it was something way more mundane, like a misplaced historical marker or something. The "forgotten deity" angle is much more interesting though...makes me want to go back and check it out again with fresh eyes. I'll report back if I uncover any ancient secrets!
Kowloon Tsai's Secret?
So I'm heading to Kowloon Tsai Sports Ground next week for a football match. Heard the atmosphere is electric, but I'm worried about getting there – public transport looks a bit…complex on the maps.… more
The MTR is your friend, honestly. From Mong Kok, take the Tsuen Wan Line towards Tsuen Wan. It's super straightforward. Get off at Prince Edward, then switch to the Kwun Tong Line (towards Tiu Keng Leng) and hop off at Wong Tai Sin. It's a short walk from there to the sports ground. Way easier than wrestling with a taxi during match time. You'll save a ton of money and stress. Plus, you get to see a bit more of the city!
