Seven spots to escape the Rugby Sevens in Hong Kong this weekend
If the rugby doesn’t take your fancy, get away from the scrum and enjoy a drink and a bite to eat at these seven New Territories and islands bars and restaurants
When it comes to the Rugby Sevens, there are two types of people: those who see nothing wrong with putting on a gorilla suit and drinking themselves silly in the south stand, and those who just want to hide under a blanket and wait until it all goes away.
If you belong to the latter group and are dreading the arrival of our annual rugby fever, don’t despair – here are seven places where you can escape the madness.

The “surf/skate shack” by the beach at Pui O puts an emphasis on serving foods that are seasonal and natural. In addition to working with a local organic food provider, it has its own plot of organic farmland in the wetland behind the beach – farmland that supplies the kitchen. Grab a cocktail and hopefully you’ll catch one of Pui O’s fantastic sunsets.
