Scopri HONG KONG
The workcamp will mainly take place in Sha Tau Kok, Kat O and possibly Mui Tsz Lam / Lai Chi Wo. Kat O is an island village in the northeast of Hong Kong. Unlike the busy urban image of Hong Kong, Kat O offers participants a chance to experience a quieter rural community, local heritage, village culture and coastal landscape. Through this workcamp, participants will discover another side of Hong Kong beyond skyscrapers and shopping districts. During free time, participants may enjoy the natural environment, village scenery, local food and cultural atmosphere of the area. However, as the camp is based in rural and island communities, transport options may be limited and participants should follow the group schedule closely. Ferry arrangements, weather conditions and community needs will be considered when planning leisure time.
