Hong Kong｜The Vast Hidden Grassland in May

This is one of my favorite spots in Hong Kong.

Why? It’s definitely because there are few people, the scenery is beautiful, it’s unspoiled, and visitors treat the place gently.

Sham Chung Grassland was originally planned to be developed into a golf course, with turf planted, but the plan was later canceled, leaving a large open grassland.

Sham Chung Grassland is private land, and camping on the grass is not allowed.
If you want to lie down carefree on the grass or have a picnic, you can bring a picnic mat, snacks, and drinks to enjoy a picnic on the grass🧺.

🌟🌟🌟
It’s recommended to ask the nearby convenience store before picnicking to respect the private property.

There is a convenience store at Sham Chung Grassland for supplies, but it only operates on weekends and public holidays. They even have farm-fresh vegetables! Many people take a boat here in the morning during holidays, have lunch, and then take the boat back, spending a relaxing morning here😌.
