Here we go again ~ Sai Yuen Camping Adventure

After our previous stay at the African Safari Tent (for details on Sai Yuen, I suggest to read this https://www.facebook.com/113508473635882/posts/215658000087595/), we booked for a night at one of their most popular, the Sunset Vista. It’s a dome-shaped tent on a big lawn with facilities and surroundings to enjoy privately. 






Dome-shaped tent with: 

- 1 double bed and 1 sofa bed for max. 4 person 

- Air conditioning (cold/heat) 

- Coffee table and chair 

- Floor lamp

- Sockets and charge ports

- Bay window 

- Private shower and toilet cubicle with toiletries 



The surroundings:

- Barbecue stove 

- Sink 

- Picnic tables 

- Fire pits with wooden seats 

- Hammocks 


We love this private space we have so much! While adults are barbecuing and getting dinner ready, kids took our torch and explore around the campsite. They won’t be allowed to leave Sai Yuen, so it’s safe for them to roam around by themselves. And while Mr and myself are reading by the chair outside our tent, kids find ways to entertain themselves with the hammocks, sticks, leaves and broom! Exactly what kids should be doing! 


For extra activity, we did paid to join the monkey climbing again! I was about to cry seeing K overcoming her fear and self-doubt; taking one steps a time, wanting to give up, then suck it up and keep pushing for forward till she finally ring the bell !  Also, the next day, we went Cheung Po Chai Cave and Po Yue Wan for a short walk before check out at 1130. 




For detailed information on Sai Yuen, such as other tents choices, activities, how to get there etc, do refer to my previous post at

Note: we brought our ingredients for barbecue, you could order from them or get yours from the market just 20-25 mins away.

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:...
