    Wednesday Night Trip

    This is a fun way to spend one evening. I understand the grandstand holds 55,000 people. Good mixing spot of ex-pats along the rail.

    Hi 518adrian! No need to pre-book unless you wish to be in one of the private rooms overlooking the course. Simply show up (easiest is via MTR Causeway Bay) or taxi.... Enjoy!
