  • Pounding equine competition.

  • Formula 3 action on the former Portuguese enclave.

  • One of the most picturesque of Hong Kong’s festivals. Families brave the most appalling traffic jams to venture out into the country parks to burn candles and feast on yolk-centred mooncakes. Unfortunately, the intricate paper lanterns have increasingly been supplanted by glowing, blow-up Hello Kitty, Doraemon and Pokémon dolls.

  • Asia’s top golfing stars on show.

  • Beer-swilling mayhem and fast and furious rugby.

  • More of the above.

  • Also known as Chinese Valentine’s Day, this festival marks the end of the traditional Lunar New Year celebrations. Canoodling couples take to the parks under the gentle glow of lanterns and peeping Tom arrests surge.

  • The gruelling race starts at the Cultural Centre, Tsim Sha Tsui.

  • This is the big one if you make your living from the sea. Fishermen make floral paper offerings to Tin Hau, the goddess of the sea, hoping for fine weather and full nets. (Her views on overfishing and dragnetting aren’t clear.) Try the temples at Stanley, Joss House Bay or Tin Hau Temple Road.

  • A gruelling 60-mile (100-km) walk over MacLehose Trail, in aid of the charity Oxfam.
