With a metropolitan and polluted city like Hong Kong, you’ll never imagine there are nice beaches just an hour away from the city. But YES, there are beautiful beaches in Sai Kung. My top two favourites are Tai Long Wan, aka Big Wave Bay (大浪灣) and Long Ke (浪茄). Pollution free, white sandy beach, and wave for your boggie board.

Along the short 20 minutes hike, this route offered some of the best panoramas I`ve seen in Hong Kong. There’s also campsite beyond secluded Long Ke Wan, bring your own tent, food & drinks, as there’s no shop whatsoever in this area. It is definately quiet and remote for the peace seeking campers / swimmers. With a gentle sea breeze, one can stroll along Man Yee Road towards the site to be rewarded by a pleasant panoramic scene of High Island Reservoir.

Location: Long Ke Wan (Long Ke Beach), Sai Kung East Country Park.

How to Get There: take Bus 96R at the Diamond Hill MTR Bus Terminal, or mini-bus from Choi Hung MTR Station to Sai Kung Town. From Sai Kung Bus Terminal, take a green taxi to Man Yee Reservoir East Dam (tell the driver you want to go to Long Ke). You then walk along the roadside path marked towards Long Ke Wan, over a hill for 20-30 mins.

Used to be a cattle depot, now transformed as a artists community, this village house many local artists, art organization, as well as a mini museum. Despite the fact that tenants of Cattle Depot Artist Village have been trying hard to promote the village in the past few years, the village still has not gained much sustainable reward. It is upsetting, especially when the HK Government were talking about wanting to push the knowledge-based creativity industry, while they didn’t do anything to support nor to get the attention of the Hongkongers.

After participating in this African hand drum jamming circle, you may gt addicted like me. It’s a 100% hands-on drumming session. No matter you are a professional drummer, or you never drum before, everybody can join this jamming session and have fun. Highly recommended that you take part in at least once in your life time. Drumming is a powerful activity to motivate, energise, heal and connect people.

The jamming session is hosted by Kumi Masunaga, one of the most famous African drum instructors in HK, and her facilitators.

There is a monthly free drum jam session in Fringe Club. And every alternate Sunday at the Tom Lee Music Carnival at HK Cultural Centre Piazza, right next to the starferry in the waterfront.
