It is the time of the year once again when our Hong Kong friends celebrate the annual Cheung Yeung festival. Similar to the Ching Ming Festival in April, Hong Kong families visit the graves and cemeteries to honor and worship their ancestors by means of cleaning and making offerings.

Families often hike before visiting the graves and aim to “go high” as per their ancient customs. They believe it brings them good luck.

Cheung Yeung festival is also a public holiday so most businesses and all schools are closed on this day giving everyone in the city more time to spend time with the family.

It will be a rainy celebration for the Cheung Yueng fetival as the city was hit by two typhoons in a span of days. Your Hello! Hong Kong Tours Team wishes you all a safe celebration!

We know that you miss traveling. We know that you can’t wait to have a well-deserved holiday on a beach or close to nature. While an overseas vacation may not happen anytime soon, Hello! Hong Kong Tours Team found a quick getaway for you to relax and unwind and reconnect with mother nature!

Hong Kong has lots of beautiful beaches that are just a perfect spot for camping. How does 2-day Eco-adventure overnight Hong Kong sailing and camping on the beach sounds? Depending on the weather, you can choose to stay onboard and spend the night in your comfortable cabin, or you may choose to camp on the beach with the guidance of your friendly Skipper.

Discover the best camping beaches in Tai Long Wan! Check out our list below!

Tai Long Sai Wan

One of the beaches in Tai long wan and has been described as one of the best scenic spots in Sai Kung East or even Hong Kong. This campsite is popular on weekends for families and friends because of its white sand and clear blue waters.

Ham Tin Tsuen

A hidden gem in Sai Kung and a favorite camping sites for Hikers. Ham Tin area is set in a rural landscape, surrounded by mountains, with one main river flowing directly into Ham Tin Wan, one of the four bays forming Tai Long Wan.

Long Ke Wan

The beach was mentioned by CNN as "one of the best beaches in the world” because of its crystal clear waters and fine sand. It has easier to access than Ham Tin and Swai Wan making it easier for families with kids to camp here. It is a dog-friendly beach too! There are no restaurants or stores in the area so be sure to bring everything as there is no restaurant here.

While these campsites give the best panoramic view of the beach, none of the beaches in the Tai Long Wan area is suitable for swimming because of the presence of strong rip currents year-round. It is always best to listen to the expert advice of your Skipper.

What's your favorite food and where would you recommend people to get it?

I love Egg Waffles and there are many places around Hong Kong that serve this tasty street snack. I like to grab one from one of the local vendors if I am in Sham Shui Po which is a very local area of Hong Kong. I often find myself in Sheung Wan where there is the much loved famous "mammy pancake" who do plain egg waffles as well as lots of different toppings, including chocolate and peanut butter!
