Cheung Chau Events February 2027

February 2027 has four dated things on and around Cheung Chau: Lunar New Year, the three-day STEAM camp at Saiyuen, the February session of Saiyuen's macro photography workshop, and the 開燈 lantern-lighting rite at Pak Tai Temple on the 20th. That is the whole of February's published programme as it stood on 9 November 2026. The rest of the island's 2027 year is dated too — the Bun Festival on 10–14 May, Tuen Ng on 9 June, the temple festivals — and every date already fixed is collected on the Cheung Chau 2027 events calendar.

February 2027 at a glance

February 2027, in date order

Lunar New Year on the island — Saturday 6 to Tuesday 9 February 2027

Where: village-wide, centred on the pier and the temple quarter. Category: Watch & Listen.

New Year's Day is Saturday 6 February. The gazetted general holidays are 6, 8 and 9 February: the second day, 7 February, is a Sunday and a general holiday in its own right, and the fourth day is designated in substitution. On the island that means temple visits, the Praya, and the lanes around the pier. No 2027 island programme has been published for the holiday.

Lion troupes calling at shopfronts are general Hong Kong custom rather than a published island programme, so treat them as something you may run into rather than a date to plan around.

The dates come from the 2027 general holidays gazette, and the lunar conversion from the Hong Kong Observatory's 2027 lunar table, where the first day of the first lunar month is 6 February.

Survival on a Deserted Island: Saiyuen STEAM Exploration Camp — Wednesday 10 to Friday 12 February 2027

Where: Saiyuen, south-west Cheung Chau, meeting at Central Pier No. 5. Who: children aged 8–10. Cost: HK$3,288 per child, or HK$2,988 for early-bird registration on or before 31 December 2026. Category: Learn & Do.

Three days and two nights on the island for 8–10s, run in Cantonese: safari tents, night ecology, and the parents back on the ferry to Central. The camp meets at Central Pier No. 5 at 8:20am on 10 February and dismisses at 5:30pm on 12 February; the organiser marks both the times and the meeting points tentative.

The dates, fees, age band and meeting details are Saiyuen's own, from its 2027 camp page. The 10–12 February window and the 8–10 age band are also carried by the independent listings publisher thebeat.asia, which records the event as a three-day, two-night camp.

Macro Ecology Photography Workshop — Sunday 14 February 2027, 2:30–5:00pm

Where: Saiyuen, south-west Cheung Chau. Who: children aged 6 and over, with an adult. Cost: HK$560 for a two-person family, HK$680 for three. Category: Learn & Do.

This is the February session of the workshop that also runs on 10 January: two and a half hours in Saiyuen's bamboo and pond margins, phones and cameras out, in Cantonese.

The date, hours, age range and prices are Saiyuen's own, from its 2027 workshop page, whose date list carries both 10 January and 14 February 2027. They are the operator's figures and are not independently confirmed: no third party publishes another operator's workshop calendar.

開燈 lantern-lighting rite at Pak Tai Temple (玉虛宮) — Saturday 20 February 2027

Where: Pak Tai Temple, 長洲北社街 — about five minutes' walk (roughly 420 m) from the ferry pier; the distance is our own measurement, not the temple's. Category: Watch & Listen.

On the 15th day of the first lunar month, Cheung Chau residents perform the lantern-lighting ceremony and carry the main Pak Tai image out to a lantern shed outside the temple. The temple is open daily 7am–5pm; no hour is published for the rite itself.

Date fixed by the lunar calendar; the 2027 programme has not been published yet.

The date and the observance come from the Chinese Temples Committee's record for the temple, the body that directly manages it, whose 主要節誕 list carries the rite. The date is converted with the Hong Kong Observatory's 2027 lunar table, where the first day of the first lunar month is 6 February and the 15th is 20 February.

Also on, and worth knowing

• Also on: Saiyuen's Surviving with Parents on Sunday 21 February, 2:30–5:00pm — children 4+ with a parent, HK$560 for a two-person family or HK$780 for three. It is the same product as the 24 January session. Saiyuen's terms cancel and refund a session if minimum numbers are not met, so treat the date as scheduled rather than guaranteed.
• Lunar New Year's Eve is 5 February 2027 — the 12th lunar month is a 29-day month in 2027, so there is no 30th day to print.
• Cheung Chau Sports Ground is partially closed for refurbishment from 15 October 2026 up to and including 5 February 2027 — running track, soccer pitch, put ring, and the long-jump runway and sand pit. LCSD publishes no reopening date.
• Swimming: Cheung Chau Tung Wan Beach is not on the LCSD's published lifeguard roster this winter; daily 8am–5pm cover resumes on 1 March 2027.
• Staying the night: the camp meets at Central Pier No. 5 at 8:20am on 10 February. If you would rather sleep on the island the night before, the site's holiday flats and short-term rentals on Cheung Chau cover the options.
