Venues in Sai Kung

Getting there

Sai Kung has no MTR station. The two usual ways in:

• From Hang Hau station on the Tseung Kwan O line, take a green minibus straight to Sai Kung town.
• From Choi Hung station on the Kwun Tong line, take a green minibus to Sai Kung.

Buses also run from Kowloon and the eastern New Territories. For village houses and outdoor venues outside town you will usually need a taxi, another minibus or a car.

Driving is the most convenient option, but parking in town is very tight at weekends and on holidays, and the roads in and out get congested in the afternoon. Check the last minibus or bus before the party ends.

What venues are like here

Sai Kung has no industrial area, so its venues are quite different from the city:

• Village houses and sea-view homes: gardens, rooftops or balconies, some with sea views, suited to a full day together.
• Outdoor BBQ spaces: lawns or covered areas, some with BBQ food sets as an add-on.
• Town-centre mixed-use buildings: near the waterfront and minibus stops, the easiest to reach, usually smaller.

Most village houses have no lift, so expect stairs. The surroundings are very quiet at night, so keep the volume down for the neighbours.

What it's good for

• BBQ gatherings: Sai Kung is one of Hong Kong's favourite BBQ spots. See BBQ venues.
• Full-day gatherings with friends: the waterfront or countryside by day, a village-house party in the evening.
• Team building: outdoor space for games and a BBQ.
• Couples' celebrations: a sea-view home or rooftop sets the mood for two or a small group.

Practical tips

• For countryside venues, check the route and the last minibus or bus before you leave. Larger groups can share cars or taxis.
• If Typhoon Signal No. 8 or a Black Rainstorm Warning affects an outdoor booking, the platform's severe weather rule applies. See the cancellation policy.
• In summer bring insect repellent, sunscreen and plenty of water.
• Before bringing food and drinks to a village house, ask the host about the fridge, cooking equipment and rubbish disposal.
• For a large indoor room near the MTR, look at Tseung Kwan O or Kwun Tong.
