Frequently Asked Questions

   

Q: How do I participate in the "Cheung Chau Wild Walk" — Exploration Trail Award?

A: Participating is simple and convenient. Upon entering Saiyuen, collect the route map and complete the trail on your own. Take personal photos at "Cheung Po Tsai Cave" and "Five Elements Rocks", or record your journey with any GPS tracking app. After completion, present one of these proofs at the Saiyuen Front Desk to claim your medal.

 

Q: Will there be any staff accompanying participants?

A: No. This is a self-guided activity completed by participants independently, with no coaches or staff stationed along the route. Participants must assume all risks themselves, and we recommend bringing sufficient drinking water, suitable hiking shoes, and communication devices.

 

Q: Can I complete the trail first and then enter Saiyuen to claim the commemorative medal?
A: Yes. However, eligibility is strictly limited to overnight or day camp campers. All checkpoint visits and medal redemptions must be completed during the validity period of your stay or day camp ticket, and within the Saiyuen Front Desk office hours.

 

Q: Can I bring pets along for the program?
A: This depends on your arrangements. While there are no restrictions on the outdoor trails, pets are prohibited inside Saiyuen (except for guide dogs). Because the medal redemption process must take place inside Saiyuen, campers planning to claim a medal are advised to make advance arrangements for their pets to avoid being unable to enter the park and collect the medal.

 

Q: Are free admission visitors eligible to receive a commemorative medal?

A: Yes. Any free admission visitor who completes the journey and presents proof may pay the activity fee at the Front Desk to claim a medal.
(*Free admission visitors include: children aged 3 or under, holders of a complimentary admission pass, or eligible guests during the 60+ Promotion Period.)

 

Q: I completed the same route in the past. Can I claim a commemorative medal now?

A: No. Participants must take part within the validity period of the program, and present personal photos taken at the designated attractions (Cheung Po Tsai Cave and Five Elements Rocks) or a valid GPS tracking record at the Saiyuen Front Desk on the day of completion as proof.

 

Q: If I participate within the validity period, could I fail to receive a medal due to insufficient stock?

A: There is currently sufficient stock. (If medals are temporarily unavailable due to stock shortages, arrangements can be made to send them via courier at a later date, with courier fees borne by the participant.)

 

Q: Can I hike the route at night?

A: No. To ensure participant safety, it is strongly recommended to conduct the hike during daylight hours with sufficient sunlight. Certain sections of the route are rugged, and poor visibility at night increases the risk of getting lost or injured. In addition, commemorative medals must be redeemed on the day of completion during Saiyuen Front Desk office hours (9:30 am – 6:00 pm); late redemptions cannot be verified or processed.
