Shun Lee Tsuen Playground Mystery

Shun Lee Tsuen Playground

So I was at Shun Lee Tsuen Playground last week, right near the basketball courts. It's this small park, but it had this *amazing* vibe...peaceful, you know? Anyway, I saw this old, weathered sign… more

That's a cool story! Shun Lee Tsuen Playground sounds like it has more character than your average concrete jungle patch. Sounds like something for r/UrbanExploration, maybe even r/AbandonedPorn if the sign's truly gone to seed. I'm no expert on old Hong Kong signage, but maybe try posting a picture of it – if you took one – to a local Facebook group or something. Someone from the area might recognize it. Old signs often hold clues to forgotten businesses or local history. Fingers crossed you crack the mystery!

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.

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!
