Cheung Kok Eco Tourism Villa

Cheung Kok used to depend upon its surrounding rice fields for survival, but recognising the need to diversity they collaborated with Amica, a French NGO, to create a sustainable, fair way to generate and distribute incomes.

You can visit the village independently, and do your own little tour, dropping in to see the artisans at work if they are there. There are panels dotted about the village, telling you where to find the silk maker, palm sugar producer, palm leaf weaver, the krama maker, or perhaps someone who will show you how to cultivate rice.

It may be better to get a deeper understanding with a proper, guided tour of the village, which takes about one hour. You may also be able to participate in various activities as well, to learn how they’re done.
