Key takeaways

  • Yuen Long has town-centre rooms near Yuen Long and Long Ping stations, and rooms further out that may have a rooftop or balcony.
  • The Tuen Ma Line runs direct from Kowloon to Yuen Long; Light Rail links the town with Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun.
  • Delivery may not reach remote venues, so choose a BBQ food set or shop before you go.
  • With Signal No. 8 or a Black Rainstorm Warning in force from three hours before the start until the start, you can cancel for a full refund or move within 30 days.
  • For a late finish, check last trains or book a taxi, especially from remote venues.

Yuen Long is the main town of the north-western New Territories. Some of its party rooms are in commercial or industrial buildings in the town centre and are easy to reach; others are further out and need a change of transport, but may offer more space or an outdoor area. Yuen Long suits families and friend groups from Yuen Long, Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun, and anyone planning a BBQ. Take the Tuen Ma Line to Yuen Long or Long Ping, then walk or change to Light Rail for town-centre rooms.

How do I get to a Yuen Long party room?

Tuen Ma Line stations

Station Handy for
Yuen Long Yuen Long town centre, with a Light Rail interchange
Long Ping The northern side of the town centre
Kam Sheung Road The Kam Tin area

From Kowloon, the Tuen Ma Line runs direct to Yuen Long with no change. There are also industrial buildings north of the town centre, some about a ten-minute walk from Long Ping.

Light Rail, minibus and taxi

Light Rail runs through Yuen Long and connects it with Tin Shui Wai and Tuen Mun. If a room is in a more remote spot, you may need a minibus or taxi for the last leg. Check the location on the venue page; the exact floor and unit appear in your booking once it is confirmed.

What kinds of party rooms are there?

Town-centre rooms

  • Close to MTR and Light Rail, the easiest to reach
  • Good for after-school or after-work get-togethers
  • Karaoke, consoles, board games and mahjong tables
  • Plenty of food and delivery nearby

Rooms further out

  • Longer journey, often a minibus or taxi for the last leg
  • May have more space, a rooftop or a balcony
  • Outdoor areas depend on the weather
  • Delivery may not reach, so plan food ahead

For outdoor space, browse party rooms with a rooftop or party rooms with a balcony and filter for Yuen Long.

Facilities, capacity and house rules are on each venue page.

How do I choose a BBQ venue in Yuen Long?

Yuen Long is an area many people think of for a BBQ. On Gatherland you have a few routes:

  • Party rooms with BBQ equipment. A roof over your head, so rain is less of a worry. See party rooms with BBQ.
  • BBQ venues. A separate category for venues built around barbecuing. See BBQ venues in Yuen Long.
  • Food sets. Some venues offer BBQ food sets as an add-on, which saves a trip to the shops.

How do I prepare for a BBQ get-together?

  1. 1

    Check the BBQ equipment when you choose

    Is there a grill, charcoal or electric, and is a food set offered as an add-on? If you choose one, it is added to the total.

  2. 2

    Ask whether you can bring your own food

    Before you shop, message the host about raw meat, drinks, alcohol and whether there is a fridge.

  3. 3

    Buy food first for remote venues

    Delivery may not reach, so shop in Yuen Long town centre before you head out, or choose a food set.

  4. 4

    Check the Observatory forecast

    Outdoor areas depend on the weather. If rain is likely, ask the host whether there is an indoor fallback.

  5. 5

    Keep the last 30 minutes for clearing up

    BBQs leave ash and more rubbish. Clean up before you leave so extra cleaning does not come out of any deposit.

What happens if the weather is bad?

3 hours
Signal No. 8 or Black Rain in force from three hours before the start lets you cancel for a full refund
30 days
Or move to another free slot at the same venue within 30 days
48 hours
Deposits are normally returned about 48 hours after the booking ends

Who is Yuen Long best for?

  • Families in the north-west New Territories. No need to take the kids into town. See kids' party venues.
  • Birthdays. Easiest when most guests live in the western New Territories. See birthday party rooms.
  • BBQ get-togethers. Choose a venue with a food set add-on and you only need to turn up.
  • Big friend groups. Search with your headcount to see what fits.

Practical tips

  • Allow travel time. For rooms outside the town centre, include the connection time and ask guests to set off early.
  • Getting home. For a late finish, check last trains or arrange a taxi in advance, especially from more remote venues.
  • Weather. Rooms with outdoor space depend on the weather. Check the Hong Kong Observatory forecast before you set off.
  • Food. Delivery may not reach remote locations, so buy food in advance or choose a venue with a food set.
  • Deposits. Some venues take a refundable security deposit, shown before you pay and returned about 48 hours after the booking ends.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to a party room in Yuen Long?

Yuen Long and Long Ping stations on the Tuen Ma Line are both close to the town centre, and Kam Sheung Road station serves the Kam Tin area. Light Rail and buses run within Yuen Long. Rooms outside the town centre may need a Light Rail, minibus or taxi connection, so check the location before you go.

Are there party rooms with a BBQ in Yuen Long?

Some rooms have BBQ equipment, and some offer BBQ food sets as an add-on. Filter from the party rooms with BBQ page, or browse the BBQ venue category for Yuen Long.

How many people can a Yuen Long party room take?

Each venue sets its own maximum and any minimum headcount. Enter your group size when you search and you will only see rooms that fit and are free for your slot.

What if there is a typhoon or heavy rain?

If Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above or a Black Rainstorm Warning is in force at any time from three hours before the start until the start, you can cancel for a full refund or move to another free slot at the same venue within 30 days. For rooms with outdoor space, it is also worth talking to the host when the weather looks poor.

What about ordinary rain for an outdoor BBQ?

The severe-weather arrangement only covers Signal No. 8 or above and Black Rainstorm Warnings. If you cancel because of ordinary rain, the venue's own cancellation policy applies. To be safe, choose a covered indoor BBQ room, or ask the host before booking whether there is an indoor fallback.
