I was on a tram going to Shek Tong Tsui on Sunday and noticed a street sign with the name Killing Lane. I thought it was strange so I got off the tram on the next stop to have a closer look. I'm glad I was wrong.
Another L added and it would be spelled killing. But when you read out the name, it definitely is killing lane! The good thing is the Chinese name has nothing to do with the word kill or its meaning. And it was good to see Ki Ling Lane is a peaceful and safe lane as it has a children's playground.
I did not see any kid though but saw elderly people reading newspapers, playing chess or just stting and staring out to a stranger -- me. That was the reason I do not have a photo of the playground itself.
