Description:
Using camping and glamping activities as entry points, this study aims to study the shift of the natural landscape towards a leisure landscape under the discourse of postmaterialism, and construct a landscape for modern Hong Kong nature. 4 participant observation trips to camping and glamping sites were conducted in Hong Kong in 2024, and 8 participants were interviewed during the trips to understand their sense of place towards nature. This study found out that nature is highly integrated with leisure and material practices of glamping reinforced the sense of leisure in nature. The boundary between natural landscape and leisure landscape is also becoming less obvious. The importance of preserving the natural landscape is suggested at the end of the study, after studying the environmental and cultural practices of the two landscapes
