On most Wednesday nights throughout the race season (September to June) catch the night racing at the Happy Valley racetrack. Hemmed in on all sides by tower-blocks, each meet can attract up to 60,000 people, though about 25,000 is the norm.

Pay HK$10 (about seventy pence) to enjoy the action from the public stand, and whilst there get some of the cheapest lager in town. Either watch the horses hurtle past you from touching distance on the uncovered ground floor, or catch the elevator to the 7th floor of the stand to watch from up high. A wet afternoon in Uttoxeter will never be the same again.

Happy Valley - behing Causeway Bay shops on HK Island. Either get off the MTR at Causeway Bay or get the tram directly to the track
