Ever had that one friend who gets a bit too serious during beer pong?
The Pong World Championship is basically what happens when they all get together to organise an international tournament, with over US $40,000 worth of prizes up for grabs!
With representative teams from Hong Kong, the US, UK, South Korea, Vietnam and many others congregating in Central Harbourfront and a Reality E-Sports Festival happening alongside the main event, this is not one to be missed and certainly one of the more novel events we've come across in a long time!

2. Ghost Villages of the New Territories
Date: March 24 (Sun)
Time: 9.00pm-5.00pm
Venue: Plover Cove Country Park
Admission: Book HERE
Visit some of Hong Kong's most remote settlements - now abandoned and left for nature to reclaim.
You’ll view traditional Hakka style houses, a former army barracks and great views over tranquil Double Haven. Be wary as there have been rumoured ghost sitings!
The hike/walk will finish in Lai Chi Wo where you will return back to civilisation, free from the roaming spirits of the New Territories.

3. Biking in Nam Sang Wai
Date: March 24 (Sun)
Time: 10.30am-3.00pm (Sat)

Explore new areas of Hong Kong with everyone’s favourite host Lani!
You’ll be biking through thriving wetland wildlife, scenic woodland paths and small villages in Nam Sang Wai. After, you’ll hop on a ferry to the New Territories and enjoy lunch while taking in the beautiful scenery.
The bike ride is fairly easy. It's a total of 8km of riding over around 2 hours on a well-paved surface. It will $50 to rent the bike for the day and $10 for the ferry. Remember to bring additional money for lunch as well!
