Welcome to Hong Kong! Situated on the southeast coast of China, Hong Kong's strategic location on the Pearl River Delta and South China Sea has made it one of the world's most thriving and cosmopolitan cities. The former British colony is a major tourism destination and an important hub in East Asia with global connections to many of the world's cities. It is a unique destination that has absorbed people and cultural influences from diverse places and proudly proclaims itself to be Asia's World City. The Magic Grand Prix circuit is returning to Hong Kong and bringing with it all of the excitement and extravaganza that only a Grand Prix can deliver!
