Cheers to the New Year
Announcement
Due to the current health precautions, some attractions, facilities, restaurants and services may have special arrangements and operating hours in place. Before you visit, please check their respective websites. Find the latest updates, including health tips, on the Hong Kong Government's website.
New Year's Eve is especially exciting this year as we can finally toast to the end of 2020 and usher in the new year with optimism. Hong Kong offers many alternative ways to welcome the New Year with a festive cheer. If it’s safe to get out exploring, jumpstart 2021 by enjoying nature in Sai Kung's great outdoors or getting productive with creative and enriching experiences in Hong Kong Island's eastern neighbourhood.
Begin the New Year connecting with nature in the stunning 'back garden' of Hong Kong.
High Island Reservoir
Outdoors in winter is sure to make a New Year's celebration memorable. Head out to Sai Kung and kick start your year with a breathtaking sunrise at Hong Kong's largest reservoir. Skip the countdown and go to bed early for a full night's rest so you can wake early to leave before daybreak. It might be a bit chilly, so be sure to dress appropriately for your trip, bring a change of clothes, and wear suitable hiking shoes. Other must-haves are sunscreen, bottled water, and some snacks to get you through your hike and beach time. Head directly to High Island Reservoir East Dam via a 30-minute taxi from Sai Kung Town. Enjoy the sunrise along the reservoir and catch the spectacular views of the clear turquoise lake. From here, the East Dam is a great spot to start your hike. Head down the slope and walk along the High Island Geo Trail and take tons of pictures amidst the hexagonal rock columns. Head back to the East Dam and take a 25-minute walk, mostly downhill, to hit the pristine beach of Long Ke Wan where you can lounge for a few hours before heading back to town. Before you head to Long Ke Wan beach make sure to reserve a taxi to take you back to Sai Kung Town.
| Address: | High Island Reservoir East Dam, Sai Kung, New Territories |
Little Cove Espresso
The morning hike will definitely work up your appetite. Back in Sai Kung Town, grab a seat at Little Cove Espresso and enjoy a bulletproof coffee or organic cola and tuck into a healthy — and Instagram-worthy — Mediterranean dish to refuel for the day. Order a colourful smoothie bowl, avocado toast, or pistachio-artisan brioche, and finish your meal with a raw chocolate pistachio slice.

BeCandle
After an energising meal, ready yourself for a productive afternoon at BeCandle just six minutes’ walk from Little Cove Espresso. Choose your favourite scents and experience making your own aromatic candle from their one-hour candle crafting workshop. Be sure to reserve a slot beforehand as they don't take walk-ins for the class. The workshop is available from 2pm to 4pm every Friday, Saturday, or Sunday. You can also visit their nearby shop located at 18b Sai Kung Tai Street for artisan candles and scented products made from high-quality vegetable wax, fine fragrances, and essential oils.

Sai Kung Promenade and Seafood Street
Once you're done in BeCandle, stroll along the promenade and watch the local fish dealers moor their boats below the waterfront, forming a floating seafood market where they sell their fresh catches for the day. People-watch and while away the afternoon as you wait for the sun to go down. End your productive New Year with a hearty seafood dinner in one of the Michelin recommended restaurants lined up along Seafood Street. You can opt for chilli-garlic shellfish, steamed fish, and other exceptional Cantonese cuisines at Sai Kung's first Michelin-starred restaurant, Loaf On, try abalone dishes at Sai Kung Sing Kee, or feast on king crabs and razor clams at Chuen Kee Seafood Restaurant.

Morning trail from Wong Nai Chung Gap to Quarry Bay
The start of a new year is a great time to commit to a healthier lifestyle. Sleep before the countdown so you can get a full night’s rest and wake up fresh and early. Begin your day with a 9.5-kilometre (2.5 to 3-hour) cool morning walk that starts at Wong Nai Chung Gap and finishes in Quarry Bay. Before you start your trip, make sure to bring a change of clothes, sunscreen, and water to keep you hydrated. To get to the starting point, a 30-minute bus ride (no. 6 or 66) from Exchange Square bus terminus will take you to Wong Nai Chung Gap Road. Alight next to the petrol station and walk up the steps to Parkview, then continue the trail until you reach your first vantage point: Jardine’s Lookout. Offering stunning views of the skyline, make sure to stop for some pictures before you head to the next point, Mount Butler, where you will have another chance to take snaps for Instagram amidst views of Quarry Bay and Tai Koo. Continue your descent to Mount Parker Road. Just over a kilometre away you will reach Quarry Bay Tree Walk, where you can view the first cluster of abandoned wartime stoves, and war relics, used by the army for mass cooking. Keep walking until you reach the bustling sounds of the city, and finish up as you get to King’s Road.
| Address: | 145 Wong Nai Chung Gap Road, Tai Tam, Hong Kong Island (bus stop in front of Sinopec Petrol Station) |
Nuttea
Turn left to King’s Road and continue on an eight-minute walk to Nuttea, a milk tea shop specialising in vegan teas made with nut milk and dairy-free cream. Refuel with a cold Banana Oatmeal Nut Mylk or get any of their fruit teas with cream for a refreshing morning treat. Their drinks are rich and flavourful, so you might need to fight the urge for a second cup. Freshen up at any nearby washroom before you head out for lunch.

Gitone
Walk two minutes to MTR Quarry Bay Station and alight at Sai Wan Ho Station. From here, a nine-minute walk will take you to the art gallery and restaurant Gitone. Sit down for an eclectic Asian lunch among a display of fine art and ceramics while listening to classical music playing in the background. After your meal, get your creative juices flowing for a one and a half-hour ceramic or painting class (HK$500/person). Make sure to call to book your class in advance to get a spot.

Sugar
After the enriching activity at Gitone, walk 15 minutes to EAST Hong Kong hotel and head up to the 32nd floor to swanky rooftop bar, Sugar, to catch the sunset. Order a drink from their nostalgic cocktail menu inspired by Hong Kong flavours and toast to celebrate the New Year amidst panoramic views.

Gingko Moment
End your day with a vegetarian meal at social-enterprise, Western restaurant Ginkgo Moment, just a six-minute walk from EAST. The eatery promotes senior employment in Hong Kong, so expect a full service entirely run by the elderly — from waiting tables to cooking, to the band that plays the music every night. Supporting their cause by dining here is a great way to start a heartwarming New Year.
