editor’s letter With a third wave of Covid-19 upon us, it can feel like we have little to celebrate this year. But us Saikungers are resilient, whether there’s a snake on the path or a cow on the road, we find our way around life’s obstacles. Over 1,300 of you voted in our Readers’ Choice Awards this year, your amazing responses show how passionate you are about the local businesses and people who make Sai Kung home. If I could choose I’d say we’re all winners, but find out who got your vote in our cover story (page 18). If one awards ceremony wasn’t enough, we’ve been busy with our first-ever Hong Kong Living Bar Awards. From getting up on the dance floor in Dragon-i to sipping rooftop cocktails at Sevva, we reveal the best of Hong Kong’s nightlife (page 28). This month we welcomed the Marine East Division to our monthly police blotter. With many residents retreating out onto the water to social distance they have seen an increase in waterside accidents (page 15). Keep your head up and mask on, Saikungers.

Sai Kung goes international Our little town has taken a trip over the pond with a newly opened cafe in England. The owner George Lai grew up in the town and opened Sai Kung Cafe in Bristol’s Chinatown district. If you’re looking for a taste of home while you’re abroad, the cafe serves up dim sum, noodles and bubble tea. sai-kung-cafe. business.site
Swinging upside down on the beach With gyms and fitness centers closed, there’s no better time to join Bamboo Yoga’s picturesque beach aerial yoga sessions. Hike down from Sai Wan pavilion and enjoy a scenic yoga session with founder Aleksandra Milewicz. bamboo-yoga.com
Covid-19 update As Hong Kong Living goes to print we have done our best to keep our content as accurate and up-to-date as possible, but life under Covid-19 regulations means things tend to change, often from day-to-day. Please check with local businesses for operation hours and services available and remember, stay safe.
