Celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with a unique blend of heritage and creativity at the HKFYG Leadership Institute. From June 19 to June 21, 2026, the institute opens its doors for the Dragon Boat Festival Fun Days, offering a perfect getaway for families, history buffs, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in traditional Chinese culture within an iconic setting.

A Journey Through History and Culture

Hosted at the historic Former Fanling Magistracy, a stunning Grade III historic building, this event transforms the former judicial site into a vibrant cultural hub. Participants can engage in exclusive workshops designed to bridge the gap between tradition and modern craftsmanship. Key highlights include the Natural Herbal Sachet Workshop, where you can learn about traditional herbs while creating your own vintage-style ornament; the Plush Zongzi Making Workshop, which reimagines the traditional festival food into adorable, huggable toys; and the Gold Foil Postcard Workshop, led by professional artists to help you create a personalized memento.
