Hong Kong Racing Museum

There are many horse racing fans in Hong Kong. Horse racing activities brought to Hong Kong by the British during their stay in Hong Kong have become a part of the lives of Hong Kong citizens today. The Racing Museum adjacent to the Happy Valley Racecourse preserves precious materials related to the development of horse racing activities in Hong Kong from the mid-19th century to the present. There is a 1:1 model of a Mongolian pony and jockey beside the museum gate.


Inside the museum, there are eight exhibition halls, a cinema that can accommodate 84 people, and a gift gallery. In a corner of the museum, there is also an exhibition hall dedicated to charity. From time to time, some charity exhibitions are held here. The themes of each exhibition hall in the museum include the history of horse racing in Hong Kong, the development history of Happy Valley and Sha Tin Racecourse, and information about several famous horses of a generation, including the skeleton of Lu Yi, a three-time horse king.


The cinema regularly shows short films about horse racing. In particular, it is worth mentioning the skeleton of ‘Lu Yi’. It comes from the first horse king in Hong Kong to win a million-dollar bonus and died in 1995.


Opening hours: Open all year round from 12:00 to 19:00. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
