Out of the many exceptional attractions featured in Hong Kong, the Happy Valley Race Course takes pride of place. The 150 year old race course resembles a Roman amphitheatre and guarantees a truly unique experience to all those privileged souls that walk through its gates. The typical racing season runs from September to June each year with races being scheduled on Wednesday evenings and occasionally on weekends.

The adrenaline rush, the deafening cheers from the crowds and the exhilarating racing experienced at the Happy Valley can seldom be matched elsewhere. Stakes are always high and the earnings from bets per night are far more than those experienced at most western horse races. Night races at the Happy Valley are definitely not to be missed with brilliant flood lights illuminating the entire course and a giant video screen giving spectators a closer look at the proceedings. This is one attraction in Hong Kong that definitely not to be missed.
