Horse racing has been Hong Kong’s most popular sport since the city became a British colony in 1842.
Nothing sets Hong Kong abuzz with excitement quite as much as the thrill of its favourite sport – horse racing. The atmosphere is exhilarating, betting is feverish and there are potentially huge rewards for all! Asia’s world city has become such an important fixture on the international horse racing scene that some of the world's top jockeys and trainers – as well as their horses – make their home here. On this tour, experience either the daytime races at Sha Tin or the evening races at Happy Valley in the stylish surrounds of the Hong Kong Jockey Club Members' Enclosure.
