Although Hong Kong boasts iconic and beautiful urban scenes, it can get chaotic and hectic at times. Feeling tired and slightly irritated by the hustle and bustle of city life? Spend a day or two hiking, firing up the barbecue, and immersing yourself in the natural splendours Hong Kong has to offer. Camping is one alternative to soothe your soul, but sometimes it can be an inconvenient hassle. If you are not looking for trouble with setting up a tent and organising all that gear, glamping is the perfect alternative.
All over Hong Kong, companies offer unique and different styles of tents for your enjoyment. From bubble tents to safari tents to tipi tents, the city has got you spoiled with a multitude of choices. Here is our guide to the best and most unforgettable glamping experiences in Hong Kong.
Located on the island of Cheung Chau, Sai Yuen is an 11-acre outdoor adventure park. From treetop canopy walking to archery and bubble football, this place has a whole range of activities to keep your day active and fun. On top of that, it is also the perfect place to glamp!

In Yuen Long’s Mingle Farm, there are transparent, bubble-shaped tents that are by far the best spots for a comfortable stargazing session! This boutique outdoor adventure company offers four types of glamping experiences: an inflatable mushroom tent, small bungalows, caravans, and the ever-popular bubble tent. As their signature transparent tent is quite snug and fits only two people, we think this is the perfect place for a date!
