Sai Kung
Eco-friendly Moon-gazing
Eco Travel’s Mid-Autumn Festival-themed tour takes guests by boat to Hong Kong’s eastern waters to the geological wonders of Wong Chuk Kok Tsui and Ap Chau before heading to Yan Chau Tong for the highlight of the night: moon-gazing.
Kwun Tong
Make Your Own Mooncakes
We get bombarded with a plethora of new mooncake flavours each year, from durian to milk tea. Now you can make your own. Cooking Fever in Kwun Tong is hosting workshops so foodies can whip up their favourites – from mooncakes with goji berries, figs and mixed nuts to a Taiwanese version of the Mid-Autumn staple with a matcha or purple sweet potato creamy custard filling encased in ‘thousand layers’ pastry.
Cheung Chau
Lunar Glamping
Who wants to be in town throughout the festival? Get outdoors at Sai Yuen, a campsite and adventure park at the southwestern tip of Cheung Chau where you can spend the night in a ‘Star Gazing Geodesic Dome’. Through its transparent ceiling, you can take in the moonlit sky. Plenty of outdoor activities and workshops are also available on-site.
Tai Hang
Create a Mini Smaug
The Tai Hang fire dragon dance is one of Hong Kong’s unique cultural traditions. More than a century after the first event, the three-day spectacle still draws big crowds to the neighbourhood during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Ahead of the festival, which runs from 12-14 September, The Conservancy Association Centre for Heritage is hosting a DIY workshop where people can learn to make their own miniature fire dragons from the masters on 7 September.
Aberdeen
Print Your Own Lanterns
Aberdeen-based Morimokei Design Workshop is running small classes teaching people how to create customised mini lanterns with a 3D printing pen.
