【Alumni Culture and Heritage Tours Club】Go Green: Farming with Nature

Welcome alumni, along with your family members and friends, to step away from the city and enjoy a relaxed time in the countryside. The event will take place in So Kwun Wat Village in Tuen Mun, a community with over 300 years of history where generations have made their living through farming, supplying Hong Kong with organic produce over the years. Participants will not only take part in hands-on farming activities, but also gain an appreciation for the heritage and warmth of local agricultural life.

Guided by an experienced local farmer, participants will learn about the nutritional value of organic vegetables and simple planting techniques, with the opportunity to try them hands-on in the field. A Hakka glutinous rice dumpling making session will also be held, offering a simple and heartwarming taste of tradition.
