Sai Yuen - Camping Adventure Park

Proclaim: I am not advertising for them, I am not paid to do this. This is just my review, my sharing, my experience. 

Note: Mask on face at all time! Even when we are doing activities. Be safe, and don’t give a reason for these facilities to be forced to close too. 










Last weekend, we took kids glamping at Sai Yuen aka the camping adventure park. It’s an outdoor adventure playground with over 11 acres of land on Cheung Chau. They offer different themes of camping areas include the Native America Teepee, African Safari Tent, Geodesic Dome and Mongolian Ger. And of course they have plenty of space where you could just bring your own tents and tools. It’s a different experience from our usual camping at public camp site.  It is private, well managed with facilities such as the cooking/ bbq areas, showers, toilets, children play area and having vending machines with snacks, drinks and even toiletries. 









We took the express ferry from Central Piers to Cheung Chau. Then hop on to the Kaito boat and head straight to Sai Wan Pier. Walk uphill to the entrance of Sai Yuen, a red asian style kind of gate and name board. Checked our temperature at gate, then check in at the concierge. We booked the African Safari Tent for 2 adults and 2 children, where there’s a double bed and 2 single bed, with a fan and aircon/heater. And at our door is a folded table with 4 camping chair. It’s clean, and cosy, the bedsheets and blankets don’t smell funny. 









There are different activities such as the bubble soccer, climbing monkeys, tree top canopy walk, model boats etc and each charges are different, with different requirements. There’s a big field right in the middle of the park, great for disc flying, bike or just run around. You could join the beggar’s wild chicken workshop, rent their bbq equipments and ordered through the camp, or just bring your own to cook. 




Kids had so much fun playing the flying fox and huge swing, and just running around playing catch, writing on sand with sticks and feed the goat. I do pay for the monkey climbing activity for K to have a go. It’s for age 5 and above. She did an amazing job given the heights, and overcoming her fear and uncertainty. And I’m impressed by the instructor, Cyrus, he is professional of course, but he is patient and comfort kids in a way I sincerely applauded him. 




Aside from the park, we did get out of Sai Yuen and have a walk to Cheung Po Tsai Cave (張保仔洞). It’s a 30 mins walk (top) back and forth, including climbing/ walking through the cave. We took an evening walk there, then a morning walk to the cave again. Kids like it very much! The idea of a cave where the pirate hides the treasures excite them. 







This glamping experience is wonderful. We are well rested; both kids and adults enjoyed our time with the nature, a little getaway from the city is perfect.

High Island Reservoir East Dam (萬宜水庫東壩)

A couple of months ago, I planned on an easy scenery walk with kids and their friends. We left home right after school, only managed to grab a bite on the way to Sai Kung. There are plenty of hiking trails waiting for us in Sai Kung but this time, we go for the easiest route, just a short visit to the East Dam.  It’s a reservoir formed in 1978, known for the volcanic rock columns and anchor shape sea barrier(錨形防波提), a breakwater. There’s public toilets right at the entrance to High Land Reservoir East Dam, along there’s information on volcanic rocks and pavilion. It’s concrete or asphalt pavements all the way down to the sea cave which is proof of coastal erosion (海蝕洞).  On your way down to the breakwater, there’s a gigantic wall of volcanic rocks, which is the hexagonal rocks columns! Its a 140 millions year old volcanic history. Along the way you passed the road with sea barrier (my suggestion is to spend time here on your way out), hexagonal volcanic rocks on your right a...

Tips: Hiking

Hiking with kids can be tough but we did it anyway, because it’s one of the best way to show kids the right way to care and love the nature. Of course, there are times where kids get worn out, feel bored or throw tantrums; but they develop new skills like observing plants and livings in nature, experience independence and trained physiques when they spend time outdoors.  However, heading into the nature with children requires some planning and prep;  1. Right clothing and gear. Layers of clothes so you could adjust for changing temperatures, weather and condition. Closed-goes shoes that fit well. Accessories like hat and sunglasses  2. Stock up your backpack.  Filled up with snacks for kids (something they’ll look forward to), plenty of water, sunscreen and bug repellent. Consider to let your young children like mine (4.5yo and 3yo) bring 1 of their favourite toy if it makes them feel better about the hike. And not forget the first aid kit stock with bandage, bite an...

Amphibians or Reptiles ?

Do you know how to differentiate amphibians and reptiles? Well, we learnt that (yes, even as adult, I learnt with my kids) at the amphibian classroom held by ki2zoo  Kids absolutely love the class ! They asked to have a pet gecko or snake few months back, but of course, mommy is no fan of cold-blooded pet, so I rejected 😂 Hence, they’re looking forward to this class, being able to held and pet those (in their word) “cute and adorable” little geckos and baby snakes.  The 1hour 20mins class time include introducing, little quiz game for kids, picture and petting time.  Kids now know that the 🥚 eggs for reptiles and amphibians are different, reptile’s is with eggshells and the latter lay eggs in water and covered in gel ; 🦎 reptiles’ skins are dry, hard and scaly while 🐸 amphibians are smooth and highly porous : and amphibians needs water in their habitat their life cycles involves that.  If you’re interested, I’ve gathered some information from the organisation:...
