Hong Kong
is a fast-paced, modern and bustling inter-
national financial center with a population
of more than seven million people crammed
into 1,104 square kilometers of land. This
Asian metropolis is famous for its spectac-
ular skyline, gleaming skyscrapers…and its
reputation as a paradise for food lovers.
Due to the city's history as a former Brit-
ish colony, this culinary capital is renowned
for its exotic mix of eastern and western cui-
sines and boasts more than 11,000 restau-
rants. The Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC),
the city's only operator of horse racing, of-
fers some of the most unique Chinese cui-
sine in town to nearly 30,000 guests on each
race day across its two racetracks.
