Hong Kong Happy Valley Racecourse

Happy Valley Racecourse

Happy Valley Racecourse was built on reclaimed marshland, and the first races were held here in 1846. They have been extremely popular ever since. Today, the track is ultra-sophisticated with computerised betting and races broadcast live on gigantic screens. Night racing was introduced at Happy Valley in 1973 and was an immediate success. The extra revenue raised was used to build Hong Kong's second racecourse at Sha Tin in the New Territories, which opened in 1978.

Entry into the public stand costs a mere HKD10. Alternatively, for a more comfortable way to see the races, there is a horse race tour organised by the Hong Kong Tourist Association.
