Be a Camper
What Camping is the new cool for families at Saiyuen Camping & Adventure Park on Cheung Chau as part of Be a Camper. The weekend event features camping experts from Japan and Taiwan sharing insider tips, an outdoor market selling global and local camping brands, children's play areas and a host of performances. Day camping tickets for adults and children are HK$250 and HK$125, respectively. Naturally, the spirit of the event is zero-waste, so campers should bring their own tableware for the occasion. Each ticket is accompanied by a cup of wheat beer for adults and soft drinks for children. Happy camping!
