广州马术场

The Guangzhou Equestrian Venue lies in Liangkou town, Conghua District, in a valley ringed by hills, facing the Liuxi River and bordering National Highway 105, about 50 minutes from Guangzhou's outer ring road, an hour from Baiyun International Airport and more than 100 minutes from the Asian Games Town. Built for the equestrian events of the 2010 Asian Games, it has 65,315 square metres of building area and a main grandstand for 4,000 spectators. The race track is 25 metres wide with a 1,000-metre inner circumference, surrounded by stables, a veterinary station, VIP areas and support buildings. Dressage, eventing and show jumping were contested here from 13 to 25 November 2010. After the Games the Hong Kong Jockey Club took over the site and reopened it on 28 August 2018 as Conghua Racecourse, a world-class training centre of more than 150 hectares with several tracks, stables, a hillside gallop and a horse hospital, able to train over a thousand horses and forming a twin-site model with Sha Tin. A second phase costing RMB 4 billion is complete, including a grandstand for 9,500 spectators, and from 31 October 2026 it is scheduled to stage regular internationally sanctioned thoroughbred race meetings, the first such series on the mainland. The site is also the only equine disease-free zone in China to be internationally recognised. The Asian Games track follows the valley floor with the grandstand set along one side. When the site became a training centre, several tracks, stables and a horse hospital were added around the original layout, and the main grandstand was kept.
