Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

fmd_good Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, taking photos for a project on underused public spaces in Hong Kong. It's surprisingly quiet, even on a Sunday. I noticed a small, almost hidden, stone… more

That's a cool find! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground isn't exactly brimming with tourists, so stumbling upon something like that is pretty special. Pre-colonial carvings in Hong Kong are rare, so it could be something significant...or just a really old garden ornament. Have you tried contacting the Leisure and Cultural Services Department? They might have historical records or know someone who does. Failing that, perhaps the local Fukien community might have some stories passed down through generations. Good luck with your project! Let us know what you find out.

Wow, thanks! I hadn't thought of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department – that's a great suggestion. And the Fukien community... that's brilliant, hadn't even considered that angle. I'll definitely reach out to both. It's so frustrating because it's obviously old, but so little information is readily available. I'll keep everyone updated! Fingers crossed it's something interesting.

Hong Kong's Union Square... That's a pretty intense story. I've spent a fair bit of time there, and while I haven't seen anyone vanish, the energy of the place is definitely… unusual. It's so packed, full of so many people rushing around, it's easy to get lost in the crowd yourself, and lose track of anyone easily. Maybe he just really, really blended in. Or maybe he was one of those guys who’s really good at slipping through security cameras in action movies. Still freaky though. You're not alone in thinking it was unsettling; that kind of thing sticks with ya.

Yeah, that’s exactly it. The sheer density of people… it’s overwhelming. I keep replaying it in my head, and I just can’t shake the feeling something…off happened. He wasn’t just lost in the crowd, you know? It felt like he dematerialized. Like a magic trick gone wrong. I should probably just chalk it up to stress, but…man. It was weird.
