Happy Valley race track and sports complex
Happy Valley is away from the hustle bustle of Hong Kong and has a totally different look and feel. The streets are lined with small shops, furniture showrooms, delis, and apartments. We started off following the same route we follow in the early morning to walk, but ventured farther. We came to a staircase going up into the trees and found a Tin Hau temple tucked at the top. We then came down and climbed stairs again up to the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The Jockey Club House is located where the horse stables used to be located when Happy Valley was the main Race Track in Hong Kong. As we were taking pictures of the Christmas decorations, it was one BMW after another entering the car park.
As you come down near the Happy Valley Race track there is one cemetery after another. There is a cemetery for Indians, Catholics, Jews, Muslims, and a very large Hong Kong Cemetery for everyone else.

By the time we got home we were both really tired, we must have walked for miles. We took a short break and then went out to Tony Romas for dinner. It was really a nice day.
