6th August 2026 – (Hong Kong) This summer, One North in Yuen Long is transforming the holiday experience for adults and children alike, unveiling a dynamic “flight-themed” season packed with both indoor and outdoor attractions. From now until 20th September, the shopping mall’s central atrium becomes a giant aviation-themed playground, headlined by a spectacular six-metre paper plane—a dazzling centrepiece that has been ingeniously converted into a fast-paced slide adored by youngsters. Alongside the slide, the area is revitalised with timeless games ranging from hopscotch and tic-tac-toe to a dedicated spinning top battle zone, creating the perfect backdrop for multi-generational fun and affinity.
A particular focus is the inaugural “Fly High Together” Inter-school Paper Plane Flight Competition, scheduled for 22nd to 23rd August. This two-day event will gather participants from across Hong Kong, including students, families and paper plane aficionados, to ignite their STEM prowess, hone flight skills and stretch creative potential in a lively tournament atmosphere. The competition is divided into family, primary and open groups, welcoming contestants from every background to vie for glory, with the grand incentive of challenging an official world record for the largest number of paper planes flown simultaneously across age groups. Distinguished judges have been invited, including STEM educator Mr. STEM Sir, organisers from the Hong Kong Inter-school Creative Paper Plane Competition, Red Bull Paper Wings regional winner Kin Lok Yu and world champion Ying Ma, lending professional gravity to the occasion. Successful registrations, open until 12th August, provide a chance to win electronic vouchers worth up to HK$500 and a range of attractive prizes. Aligning with sustainability, all paper planes will be collected for recycling and upcycling after the event, reinforcing a message of responsible resource use.
For those seeking energetic pursuits, S⁺ REWARDS members can redeem points for exclusive experiences including The Pickleball Lab’s 1.5-hour adult or parent-child introductory courses, as well as a session to conquer FIRSTCLIMB’s challenging eight-metre indoor climbing wall. After working up a sweat, participants can unwind at the pet-friendly wellness café hive, where ice-cold drinks bring welcome refreshment to cap off the day’s activities.
With the spacious central atrium doubling as a giant flight board, visitors are invited to rediscover the joys of physical play, leaving behind the virtual world for authentic childhood experiences. Classic battle games and play zones unite children and parents in spirited, face-to-face fun, with eye-catching props like cubes and dice-shaped installations offering memorable photo opportunities. The festivities spill outdoors to the expansive 20,000-square-foot Chill Garden, complete with adventure slides and American-designed climbing frames, all ingeniously laid out to sharpen children’s spatial imagination and coordination. The thoughtfully landscaped green spaces enable families to balance recreation with quiet relaxation, whether jogging along trails, making use of wellness facilities, or simply strolling among the flora.
Animal lovers join the excitement too, with the café hive providing fresh, nutritious meal bowls for dogs, featuring a choice of chicken, duck or beef and a touch of manuka honey specifically formulated for pets. The mall offers convenient pet stroller rentals, ensuring every family member enjoys the festivities in comfort. S⁺ REWARDS members can further redeem points for signature drinks such as Turmeric Lemon Honey, the Lady in Pink milkshake or selected coffees, all perfectly designed to keep owners and their furry companions cool on a high-energy summer’s day.
