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).

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
