As we continue to live with COVID-19 with travel restrictions, staycation has become the new way of “traveling”. If you'd like a change of scenery and get away from the hustle and bustle in the city, why not consider glamping instead? We collaborated with Bowtie and curated a guide to the 7 best glamping sites in Hong Kong. Many of these glamping sites are family and pet-friendly too. Read on and happy glamping!
What Is Glamping?
You’ll find everything you need, including air conditioning, heating, bathroom, food, and camping essentials, so you won’t need to pack and carry a heavy bag yourself. Glamping is great for camping beginners who would like to experience spending time in nature without the hassle.
