Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association

The Hong Kong Youth Hostels Association (HKYHA), founded in 1973, is
non-profit-making, non-political and non-religious. It has promoted the
health, education and recreation of young people through the provision of
budget (but comfortable) hostel accommodation in their travels both in
Hong Kong and overseas. The HKYHA is managed by an Executive
Committee comprising responsible and highly motivated members of the
local community. It currently runs seven youth hostels in scenic rural
locations: Ma Wui Hall in Mt. Davis, Hong Kong Island; Bradbury Lodge
in Tai Mei Tuk, North-East New Territories; Bradbury Hall in Chek Keng,
Sai Kung Country Park; Pak Sha O Youth Hostel in Pak Sha O, Sai Kung;
Sze Lok Yuen in Tai Mo Shan; and, on Lantau Island, the S.G. Davis
Hostel at Ngong Ping and the Jockey Club Mong Tung Wan Hostel.

Through the provision of simple hostel accommodation, the HKYHA aims
to help all, especially young people, to understand, love and care for the
countryside and places of interest. The association is a member of the
very popular International Youth Hostel Federation (IYHF), an
international non-profit-making organisation that aims to promote cultural
exchange and international understanding by enabling young people of
limited means to see the world.

The IYHF has a global network of around 5 000 youth hostels in over 60
countries. Every year more than 4 million people see the world through
this youth hostel network and hostellers contribute over US$15 billion to
tourist revenues annually. The modest HKYHA subscription fee allows
young people in Hong Kong to enjoy comfortable and safe
accommodation in all the 5 000 global youth hostels of the IYHF network.
