Time: 9.30am-late (Sat), 10.00am-late (Sun)
Venue: Tai Pak Beach
Discovery Bay
Admission: FREE
If a fun day out in the sun is what you're looking for, you'd be hard-pressed to find anything that beats the All Girls Beach Festival this weekend, proudly hosted by the DB Pirates.
Having provided coverage for the Festival the past 2 years, we can personally vouch for the quality of rugby put on by the best girls' /women's club sides in Hong Kong, including reigning Women's Premiership champions Gai Wu and many others.
While rugby is unquestionably the main attraction, there will also be netball, various booths, food and also the opportunity to meet members of the Hong Kong Women's national squad!
To get there, just set off from Central Ferry Pier 3, with boats arriving and departing every half hour.
2. Bike Ride to Cheung Chau
Date: Jan 13th (Sun)
Time: 9.45am-3.00pm
Venue: Meet at Central Pier
The guys at Lani are back with another awesome outdoorsy networking/social event, offering attendees the chance to soak up the idyllic views Cheung Chau has to offer and partake in some of the local delicacies very much unique to the island, including fishballs and a giant watermelon popsicle.
A mere 40-50 minute ride from Central Pier, be sure to bring at least $50 to cover the ferry and bike hire.
The bike course itself will be relatively flat, lasting around an hour.
3. Hugged By Nature: Outdoor Yoga Camp with Deva Biswas
Date: Jan 13th (Sat)
Time: 8.00am-10.00am (7.45am meet at Kwun Tong MTR)

Accomplished yogis and complete beginners alike are welcome to "inspire and uncover your creative self in a mindful Yogic way" under the guidance of yoga veteran Deva Biswas, who has been practising since the tender age of 5.

72A, Stone Nullah Lane, Wanchai

Our guide for weekend is shaping up to be a yoga-lover's wet dream.
Here we have yet another yoga event that couples a lovely stroll through Wanchai and an opportunity to show off your newfound knowledge of two little-known historical buildings in Hong Kong- Blue House and 18 Ship Street, led by fourth-generation Wanchai resident Vivienne.
The yoga happens afterwards, with the little trek through the area concluding at the Hive where Loretta (also a fourth-generation Wanchai resident) will lead a session that promises to improve your physicality, spirituality and mental strength.
