Let's go pick some strawberries this spring!

There is nothing like taste of fresh hand picked picked strawberries. Who does not like to be surrounded by nature, natural fruits are like God's way of giving us candies in life. And when life gives you candies, just enjoy it. So close to urban jungle, there lies an oasis of lush green pastures 

There is lot to do in this beautiful farm land named - Kam tin country club located at 230 Shui Mei Estate, Kam Tin, New Territories.  Contact: 2442 0909   Website: www.yl.hk/ktcc 

One can spend whole day picnic in this area. or can plan a visit just for couple of hours depending on the interest. the entry is absolutely free but you have to pay charges for activities inside. Like bumper car costs 60 HKD fir 10 mins and toy car ride costs 50 HKD whereas whole package of 5 activities costs 160 HKD. Its ideal for kids upto age of 7 or  years. Also in one of the lawn there are huge inflated jumping beds for kids. 

Then there is small farm land with farm animals like rabbits, goat, pigs whom you can feed. there is tortoise pond just near entrance which has more than 10 very beautiful elderly tortoises. Also there are big laws for putting up tents for picnics or kite flying, etc. Then small arena for fishing as well. Its perfect day out for family with young kids. 

Lastly there is this beautiful, tempting strawberry farm which boasts strawberry plantations from Japan and Korea. They were beautiful in sight and so so delicious. One get basket to collect strawberries and then you can pay 120$/LB and enjoy fresh strawberries on site. 

For Adults there are barbeque pits as well to make the most out of your picnic.

Small map below for the reference of what activity is where. (Its in Chinese but you can figure out with photos about map)

What is the best way to reach there?

We found MTR to be super connected. On Brown line get down at Kam Shueng road stop and from there take Exit C in front of which you will find Taxi Stand. Take a cab and ask for Kam tin country club, you are there in 10 mins costing 24 HKD only. While returning you can take either minibus 601 (which is generally always full) or book an uber or if your luck is good then you will see someone coming in and you can use same cab to go back to MTR.

Food: there are many kiosks there for eating but vegetarian options are none so carry your food please if you are vegetarians or jains. However we relied on filling our tummy with loads and loads of strawberries! They were so delicious that you just cant stop with few! (P.S. they are 3 times costly, but thats how organic stuff are :p)

Verdict: Take some tents, make a group of kids , don't forget to pack kites and bubble guns, pack some lunch boxes and extra pair of clothes for young kids (yes they need it after starwberry picking in wet muddy places) and you are all set for your best sunday picnic ever! 

We went strawberries over it ;) literally

! I am sure Kiaan must have even dreamt about strawberries, we didnt expect but he enjoyed strawberry picking crazily and he completely forgot about his afternoon nap. He just went on and on in the farms running and adoring the sight of strawberries! 

Apart from strawberry picking, kiaan thoroughly enjoyed all the rides and watching farm animals!
