    Nightlife in Hong Kong

    Most nightlife venues cluster around Central, especially Lan Kwai Fong and SoHo. Night-owls dress up for Club 97 and Dragon-I, or listen to live music at Fringe Club. The harbour view in Tsim Sha Tsui is Aqua Spirit's main attraction. Enjoy a Wednesday flutter at Happy Valley Racecourse. Cocktails and happy hours are offered at most clubs and bars, which generally stay open until dawn at weekends.
