[2025 Hong Kong ] Travel Guide for Sha Tin Racecourse (Updated Apr)

### Hong Kong Horse Racing First Experience Review As someone who has never been involved in horse racing, I have always been curious about Hong Kong's horse racing culture. This time, I finally had the opportunity to experience this fascinating activity firsthand and embarked on my first horse racing journey. Here, I would like to share my thoughts and feelings. #### 1. **Atmosphere at the Racecourse** I chose to go to **Sha Tin Racecourse** to participate in the horse racing event. When I arrived at the racecourse, the lively atmosphere immediately made me feel excited. The racecourse was filled with cheers and tense anticipation, with countless horse racing enthusiasts gathered together to discuss the horses. The atmosphere here made me feel the cohesion of the community, as everyone was gathered for the same goal. #### 2. **Understanding Horse Racing Rules** Before entering the racecourse, I first briefly learned about the basic rules of horse racing and betting methods. Horse races are divided into multiple levels, with several horses participating in each race. The performance of the horses, the skills of the jockeys, and the condition of the horses all affect the outcome of the race. I learned how to read horse racing reports and betting slips, which was very helpful for my future bets. #### 3. **The Thrill of Betting** Before the official race started, I decided to try betting. Although I was a bit nervous, I chose a horse whose name I found appealing. I only bet a small amount, which made me feel a bit more at ease. As the race began, my mood instantly turned to tension, with my eyes firmly fixed on the horse I had bet on. #### 4. **The Joy of Watching the Race** Seeing the horses galloping on the track, I couldn't contain my excitement. The cheers and shouts of encouragement from the audience rose and fell, making the entire racecourse come alive. Although I didn't win much in the end, seeing my horse finish in the top three gave me a sense of accomplishment that made me forget all my nervousness. #### 5. **Post-Race Reflections** After the race, I felt that this experience was not just about betting, but also a cultural experience. Horse racing is not only a test of equestrian skills and human intelligence but also a social event for the community and friends. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of Hong Kong's unique charm. In summary, this first horse racing experience allowed me to enjoy the thrill and fun, and I look forward to returning to the racecourse in the future to immerse myself in this unique culture. Regardless of winning or losing, the important thing is to enjoy the process.

#January Good Places 2025 #Early 2025 #Hong Kong #Lunar New Year #Horse Racing The third day of the Lunar New Year is not suitable for Chinese New Year greetings. If Hong Kongers do not want to stay at home, they either go to temples (Che Kong Temple/Wong Tai Sin Temple) to offer incense or go to Shatin Racecourse to watch horse racing. This year, the horse racing club has vigorously attracted tourists (free of $10 admission, etc.), the venue is crowded, basically on the TV screen can see the horse racing situation, because it can not directly see the runway. The indoor section has some amusement and sports facilities/singing performances, attracting many tourists to take pictures. Access: 15 minutes walk from Exit C of Ho Tan Station on the East Rail Line, or 5-10 minutes walk from Racecourse Station.

On the day of the Lunar New Year, there will be a free shuttle bus in Tuen Mun/Tsun Wan/Sha Tin and other places. The HKJC app and alipay will give free admission tickets and windmill pens. The Jockey Club often distributes $50 dining vouchers 2, there are southern milk peanut pork hand rice, curry beef brisket, potato stewed ribs, bitter melon stewed chicken balls, I ordered $ 52 fried whole fish fillet fish eggplant rice, after using the voucher to supplement two dollars, very crispy, seasoned, great! #Valentine's Day Good Places 2025

In the busy city life, Sha Tin Racecourse has always been a passionate place in my heart. Every time I step into this horse racing hall, I can feel an indescribable excitement! This is not only a stage for horse racing, but also the best place to experience Hong Kong's unique horse racing culture. Since my first time watching a race, I have been deeply fascinated by this sport. The galloping of horses and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience always make my heart beat fast! 💓 🚆 Transportation It is very convenient to get to Sha Tin Racecourse. Take the MTR to "Racecourse Station" and you can go directly to the racecourse entrance after exiting the station. It is important to note that the racecourse station only operates on race days, so be sure to check the race times in advance. Each entry ticket costs only HK$10, and you can also use Octopus cards, which is really convenient! ⏰ Opening hours The horse racing season at Sha Tin Racecourse usually starts in September each year and lasts until June or July of the following year. The specific time can be checked on the official website of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The races are usually held on Wednesdays and Sundays, so there is always a time slot suitable for horse racing fans, whether it is in the afternoon or evening. 🎉 Horse racing atmosphere Whenever the horse racing day comes, I always arrive early to feel the warm atmosphere. Overlooking the entire track from the outdoor stands, the tall buildings and green mountains in the distance complement each other. When the starting gun sounded, the entire stand was instantly boiling, the audience shouted loudly for the horses they supported, and the warm atmosphere made my heart beat faster! Here, I saw many professional horse racing fans. They held binoculars in their hands, carefully observing the condition of each horse, and even brought horse racing books to study and analyze. Although I am not a professional player, my love for horse racing makes me happy to participate. Even if you don’t place a bet, just watching the event will fill your heart with anticipation and excitement! 🍹 Enjoy the horse racing culture The facilities at Sha Tin Racecourse are comprehensive. In addition to horse racing, there are also many vendors offering refreshing drinks, allowing people to take a break from the hot weather. Every time I sit in the stands, holding a cold drink in my hand, the scene of the horses sprinting at full speed in front of me is so beautiful! After the race, I often share interesting horse racing stories with my friends, discuss which horse performed well, and even review the highlights of the race together. This kind of emotional exchange has deepened my love for horse racing and made me appreciate the infinite charm of Hong Kong’s unique horse racing culture. ❤️ Conclusion Sha Tin Racecourse is not only a place for horse racing, but also a holy place where my blood boils. Every horse racing experience makes me fall in love with the sport more and the culture of this city more. I hope that every friend who comes to Hong Kong can experience this passion and fun for themselves, and let the charm of horse racing bloom in your heart! ✨ See you next time, Sha Tin Racecourse! I will come back to witness more speed and passion with you! 🏇💨 #HongKong #ShaTinRacecourse

#ChristmasGoodDestinations2024 #HongKongCheck-In #HongKongFeatures #2024TravelReview Have you ever thought about coming to Sha Tin Racecourse to experience Hong Kong’s century-old horse racing event? Sha Tin Racecourse is the largest racecourse in Hong Kong. It has two large spectator stands where you can enjoy the exciting races from multiple angles. I visited the horse parade ring, which is where the horses are paraded before the race, allowing you to observe the horses' pre-race condition up close. Of course, my favorite thing is to go to the position near the finish line next to the track to watch the horses cross the finish line. Here you will feel the "galloping horses" feeling of the horses passing by you at high speed, coupled with the cheers of other horse racing fans, it is really shocking and unforgettable for me. There are also restaurants and souvenir shops in the racecourse, selling souvenirs related to Hong Kong horse racing, which are very popular among tourists. As for Sha Tin Racecourse, it will occasionally host some large-scale international events, inviting singers to perform and fireworks 🎆 performances, which are extremely entertaining. Finally, a friendly reminder that you must be 18 years of age or older to enter, and it is best to check the schedule for match days before planning your trip.

#Win Hong Kong air tickets I want to go to Happy Valley Racecourse Sha Tin Racecourse is the second horse racing venue in Hong Kong, located in the eastern New Territories. With grass and dirt tracks, Sha Tin Racecourse is a world-class venue and is Asia’s top horse racing venue. Horse racing gambling is legally permitted by the government. Friends in Hong Kong will know that there is a metaphor of "horses run, dances dance" to indicate that Hong Kong people can keep the original way unchanged and everything is stable and beautiful as usual. Horse racing has been popular with Hong Kongers for many years. Even during the epidemic, races are still held. On that day, my friend and I took the train to Ho Tan Station and walked about 10 minutes to the racecourse. When you arrive at the entrance, you can pay directly with Octopus to enter. We saw the stands, there are many gamblers are reading the horse racing newspaper research, so that the public can see, can enter to buy lottery tickets, the same as Taiwan in the lottery shop.

#winhkflight #shatinracecourse #Hongkong #freehotelstay #discoveryhongkong Watched a lot of TVB dramas with horse racing at Sha Tin Racecourse and finally I get to witnessed it. The racecourse is popular destination for both local and tourist because it offers unique and exciting experiences. There’s number of seatings but the experience is stronger when you stand near the bar and cheer with others. I want to travel to Hong Kong again to experience the night horse racing, I believe it would be a different kind of experience.

Sha Tin Racecourse is very beautiful. You can see horse racing here, which is not available in China. The atmosphere is very good. It is a must-visit in Hong Kong. The food supply is also very delicious.

Before coming here, I listed the racecourse as a must-see attraction. Although Shatin is a bit far, it is still quite convenient. You can get there by MTR. It's very interesting and a brand new experience. And you can see that in order to attract more audiences of different ages, many different viewing areas are configured. It's bright and clean, and makes people feel very comfortable #hongkong #familytrip #Horserace

Hong Kong horse racing is quite famous. Basically, during the racing season, there will be Japanese horse racing every week at Sha Tin Racecourse. Spectators can enjoy the race up close and cheer for the horses they bet on before the finish line. This is also a very interesting experience. If we talk about the most lively events, the Chinese New Year Race Day must be on the list. I believe that for many Hong Kong people, the purpose of the third day of the Lunar New Year is to watch horse racing, hoping to win the jackpot and have good luck. If you are lucky, you may also get a chance to win the red envelope from the owner of the winning horse🧧 P.S. Special events usually have souvenirs P.P.S.

#NewYear2024 Yesterday was the third day of the Chinese New Year. Because there were many people at the racecourse, I chose to book a restaurant with western food for the jump race. This time, I did not eat Chinese food. Here, I ate western food with desserts, coffee, iced lemon tea, etc. I went against tradition and ate western food on the third day of the Chinese New Year. The layout of the racecourse was very gorgeous and there were many places to check in. It was very meaningful to come in and try your luck and feel the atmosphere of the New Year.
