Fodor's Expert Review Happy Valley Racecourse

Causeway Bay Sports Venue Fodor's Choice
Happy Valley Racecourse in Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China

The biggest attraction east of Causeway Bay for locals and visitors alike is this local legend, where millions of Hong Kong dollars make their way each year. The exhilarating blur of galloping hooves under jockeys dressed in bright silk jerseys is a must-see. The races make great Wednesday nights out on the town. Aside from the excitement of the races, there are restaurants, bars, and even a racing museum to keep you amused. The public entrance to the track is a 20-minute walk from Causeway Bay MTR Exit A (Times Square), or simply hop on the Happy Valley tram, which terminates right in front.

Every Wednesday night during race season (September through June), the first of about eight races kicks off at 7:15.
