    Fancy a flutter on the horses whilst in Hong Kong then visit The Happy Valley racecourse when it is a racing night there.

    The racing season is usually from September to June and normally on Wednesday nights - you have to check on the South China Morning Post newspaper on day to see if any races are happening on the night.

    Must be 18 and over to enter.

    To enter pay $10 or use your octopus card to pass the electric turnstiles.

    Don't know much about this sport, but this cricket match has 6 people on each side and I guess the rules are as normal. The competition in early November attracts lots of expats and visitors.

    The Kowloon Cricket Club (KCC) is located at 10 Cox's Road in the Jordan district of Kowloon.

    Directions
    If travelling to the KCC via the Mass Transit Railway (MTR), leave the subway at Jordan Station via Exit B2 towards Queen Elizabeth Hospital. You will surface above ground on Jordan Road and directly in front, at the traffic lights just past the bus stop, is the intersection with Cox's Road. KCC is approximately 80m along Cox's Road. Alternatively take Exit D through the Prudential Centre on to Nathan Road and enter Cox's Road via Austin Road or Tak Shing Street. MTR Exit E also joins Tak Shing Street via Tak Hing Street.

    Skimming the surface of
    the water
    by shobhanaj
    If you’re in Hong Kong in summer, a must try is wake boarding. It is very popular in the summer and can be done off Stanley and Repulse Bay beaches. Sai Kung also has some

    Just your swimsuit and your sense of adventure. Even beginners can do this. Very easy and very simple to learn. There is no real need to know swimming as all the providers insist on you wearing a life jacket.

    A few members of the party decided to take out the small lifeboat which was attached to the junk and paddle toward the beach... On one of these expeditions, the small boat somehow capsized, overturning its occupants in humorous fashion... But all escaped unharmed and returned to the junk none the worse for it...
