HONG KONG
Hong Kong is an interesting place in its own right – an extraordinary, complex territory, of seven million people that’s a repository of traditional Chinese culture, a recently relinquished British outpost, and one of the key economies of the Pacific Rim. The view of Hong Kong Island from Kowloon, on the other side of the harbour, is one of the most stunning urban panoramas on earth. Hong Kong also holds some surprises – alongside the myriad shopping possibilities are a surprising number of inviting beaches and some surviving bastions of Chinese village life, most of them in the New Territories.
We anticipate racing will take place at Sha Tin on Saturday 08 November.
