Every day of the year, something special is happening in Hong Kong, the events capital of Asia. There is a staggering array of cultural events to be watched or lively karaoke bars and dance and nightclubs to unwind in throughout the island. You should make no excuses to enjoy the bright lights, after a day exploring the modern or ancient sites. Performing Arts Festival
The Hong Kong Arts Festival has an extensive calendar of shows by international performers displaying their skills in a wide range of Chinese and western performing arts. Magnificent jazz or Latin dance are alternatives to stunning ballets like Beauty and the Beast. You can even be enthralled by the mellow songs of Jose Careras, Andrea Bocelli, or the classical tunes of Elton John or Robbie Williams. Attending a performance of Phantom of the Opera will be the highlight of your year. The annual International Film Festival showcases over 300 films from around the world. The Soho Buzz
Once you have been saturated by entertainment in the grand theater halls you will find Hong Kong's busiest nightlife spills out onto the streets of Lan Kwai Fong, just above the Central skyscraper district. Lively bars and pricey restaurants serve a youthful crowd in the district and also in the area South of Hollywood Road known as SoHo. The Central-Mid-Levels Escalator provides a handy transport link to Soho from Central. Turn Your Dollars
A visit to the Happy Valley Racecourse or a jetfoil ride to the casinos in Macau, are guaranteed to give you the thrill of watching your money spin. Pick a horse and enjoy the weekly Wednesday races from a private box sipping flowing champagne and sampling gourmet food. The high stakes races are run on the weekends at suburban Sha Tin Racecourse. World Class Competition
