Cheung Chau Island Events - January 2027

January is workshop season at Saiyuen. Two Sunday afternoons, the 10th and the 24th, are open to families โ€” three hours each, no overnight โ€” and the wingfoil circuit opens its 2027 season on the 9th. Nothing else on the island had a published January date when this page was written, and both Saiyuen dates come from the operator's own 2027 programme page.

HK Wingfoil Grand Prix โ€” Round 13

๐Ÿ“… Saturday, January 9, 2027

Round 13 opens the 2027 wingfoil season. The organiser has fixed the date and prints the venue as ๅพ…ๅฎš โ€” to be confirmed โ€” so check before you travel. It is not an island fixture: Cheung Chau's own iQFOiL leg has not been scheduled for 2027 yet. One for people who already follow the circuit โ€” the season's first date, at a venue even the organiser has not fixed.

Food Restaurants

A lot of people come to Cheung Chau specifically for the food, and there are indeed a range of traditional and modern choices. As a historic fishing village it is of course very related to seafood, fish and marine products. Here you will find a full range of seafood dishes, but also traditional Hong Kong Cafe fare, Cantonese Dim Sum and international choices as well.

Catering to the large number of visitors who are coming to Cheung Chau for a seafood lunch or dinner there is a stretch of seafront with many seafood restaurants. Each one has tables by the sea as well as some indoor seating. Focusing on providing food for visitors it concentrates on rustic and traditional Cantonese presentations of seafood. Try a steamed fish with ginger and spring onion, stir fried little clams with chili, crispy deep fried squid or steamed garlic prawns. Typical accompaniments such as plain or fried rice, beef and broccoli stir fry and sweet and sour pork make for a complete meal and cater to those who do not like seafood.
