As with the last reviewer, what should have been an excellent evening was heavily marred by an incomprehensible labyrinth of corridors, lifts and zones. With hindsight, we shouldn't have bothered with the faff of taking our passports to obtain tourist passes, and we should have stuck to the public areas further down the course. From what we could see the... more

We had a different experience from other reviewers; we found many of the staff unable to speak English. This was problematic, because upon entering we didn't know where to go (the Members/(tourist) section has a horrible layout with a patchwork of permitted/off-limit areas on different floors). We also didn't know how to bet, and then we had a hard time... more

if you are there in HK on a wed night - then head to the Race course at Happy Valley. the atmosphere is grt - more so because the races are held under lights... the cheapest entry fee is $10HK... this gets you at the ground level... closer to the food and beer and ring-side view. the prices keep going... more

On my 2nd trip to Hong Kong I was finally able to make it to this in town race course for the Wednesday night races. And what a fun experience it was! One of our group found out that for HK100 (approx 13USD) you can get a "tourist" pass for the racecourse. This essentially allows you access to most areas... more

Just a quick review - Me and my wife went to happy valley racecourse in March whilst in hong Kong and had a great night out. The setting is quite unique in among all the high rise buildings. It is not exspensive (in fact very cheap) there are lots of food/drink counters. Everything is in English and there are alot... more

As Horse racing enthusiasts we couldn't resist the temptation of a little flutter when we found that there was a meeting at Happy Valley during our stay in Hong Kong. It was a Wednesday night meeting and following threads in the forum we headed for the Causway Bay MTR station about 2 hrs before the first race.. as we knew... more
