Tuen Mun Park

This was my favourite childhood hideout place. I remember all those times my primary schoolmates and I acted like superheroes running around playing hide and seek; paddling swan boats. Since my primary school is right next to it, we would spend hours after school just to have a bit of fun at the park before heading home.
Last week I went back there again and I was flabbergasted how it has changed. The lake we used to row boats on are completely drained out and the two of the entrances of badminton court have been blocked by potted plants (there goes my short-​cut), luckily one thing that did not change is the mass of greenery. Another thing that surprised me was the crowd here, back then there were only some elderly chilling and doing Tai chi in the morning, now there are more street performers singing classical Chinese songs. This place has become more lively and vivid. (Yet I did read that there have been some kinds of prostitution targeting the elderly there going on lately)
With the completion of the West rail and also the newly established V-​City and the new residential area, I would not be shocked to see the growing number of people here. Sadly, the crowds also come with more rubbish and I was really disappointed to see the litters on the floor unfortunately. Regardless of the fact that most of the stuff I was familiar with about this place is gone, whenever I pass it by I can vividly recall where my hiding spot was during hide-​and-​seek; and I am glad that spot still exists, (which is a secret spot of course!)
