Sports Events in Hong Kong

It is one of the best parks in Hong Kong, preserving the Hong Kong coast, so people would have some idea to how most of Hong Kong looked like before urbanization.
There are also many nature paths, & my favourite one parallels the coastline.

Equipment: Bring lots of water, umbrella, extra clothes & mosquito repellent.

There are Several Golf Courses in Hong Kong and dozens just across the border around Shenzhen.
For a short round (9 holes) there is a new course at the airport. Most holes are par 3 but there are plenty of bunkers and water features to make it challenging.
You need to be an airport user/frequent flier to use it. Suggest you sign up with the airline you fly in with.
You are able to hire shoes and clubs and the weekday rate is HK$320 for 9 holes.
There are restrictions at weekends, breakfast and evenings regarding its use (you need to have a handicap of 18 or less) but midweek is fine.
You get use to the sight of planes and the smell of aviation fuel after a while.
Once you have finished you can enjoy a drink and a meal in the Thai restaurant overlookig the course.

Equipment: Can be hired

The Hong Kong Sevens is held each year during the last weekend in March.
The Hong Kong Stadium (10mins walk from Causeway Bay station) is the Venue.
Tickets normally sell out 3 months before hand but there are always touts selling tickets on the day.
To get a taste you can get in on Friday evening fairly cheaply.

Hash House Harriers (HHH or H3) is a social and non-competitive running and drinking club.
There are H3 around the world, so if you are interested to explore terrains during your holiday overseas, then I'm sure the hashers will do a good job.

Check out the different hash chapters available in HK and choose the one suitable for your itinerary and gender.

Equipment: Terrain running shoes and for hashers, remember your hash tee-shirt!
