 === RECREATION ===
 Trid, Simsense and Matrix games are perhaps the most popular forms of entertainment, and people also enjoy going on picnics and to the beach. Favourite sports include table tennis, soccer, martial arts, skating, squash, tennis, swimming, basketball, and boating. Major spectator events include the Seven-a-Side Rugby Invitation Sevens, the Open Golf Championship, and the Super Tennis Classic. But horse racing is Hong Kong's passion the Chinese are extremely keen gamblers, and this is the only legal form of gambling. Races are organized by the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club and held at Sha Tin Wai in the New Territories and in Happy Valley on Hong Kong Island between September and May. The noise of mah-jong tiles being slapped on a board often fills the streets, as people enjoy playing the game in parks or on the pavements (particularly on Sundays).
