ong Kong is abuzz with excitement ahead of the 15th National Games (NG), which will take place from November 9 to 21, 2025, as is the atmosphere in the cohost jurisdictions of Guangdong and Macao, which are all anticipating this monumental milestone for China’s Greater Bay Area.

This year will be the first time for the Games, the country’s highest-level and largest national multisport event, to span multiple hosting locations. To add to the occasion, the Special Administrative Regions of Hong Kong and Macao will be staging events on home soil in an unprecedented joint venture.

Hong Kong, Guangdong and Macao are united in the vision for a green, inclusive, open and clean National Games, and are striving to organize a simple, safe and wonderful event. Preparations for the competitions hosted in Hong Kong are in full swing while various test events and the mass participation Bowling Finals have been completed successfully, ensuring that all aspects meet the highest standards and provide the best experience for athletes and spectators alike.

8 major competitions with half-day passes from RMB50                                                                                                                   

During the Games, elite athletes from across China will gather in Hong Kong to compete for top honours in eight disciplines, including fencing, golf, and rugby sevens.

International Sports Hub

As a lively and well-connected cosmopolitan metropolis with a strategic location in Asia and well-developed transport links, Hong Kong is an ideal international sports destination for both competitors and supporters from around the globe. Substantial investment in sports development and state-of-the-art facilities further reinforce Hong Kong’s status as an international sports hub.

By cohosting the National Games for the first time, Hong Kong is embracing this opportunity not only to display the city’s capabilities in organizing major sports events, but also to demonstrate its commitment to the integrated development of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

8 Routes to Roam Hong Kong

Hong Kong stands out as a top tourist hot spot and a premier hub for mega events in Asia. Its delightful climate in November and December offers an ideal setting for visitors to explore and enjoy.

To further mark the occasion of the National Games, eight pop-up NG Routes covering competition venues and nearby landmarks have been designed to invite visitors to immerse themselves in the excitement of the Games as they explore the city’s various arts, cultural and leisure destinations.

Visitors can interact with the National Games mascots, Xiyangyang (white) and Lerongrong in augmented reality (AR) to snap a selfie or film a video together to create unique memories in real time, and then share them immediately. (Photos courtesy of National Games Coordination Office (Hong Kong))

We are excited to highlight three routes that showcase the city’s vibrant culture:

  • Experience the dynamic character of Hong Kong Island through exploring key spots such as Tamar Park, the Central and Western District Promenade, and Tai Kwun. This route features tranquil green spaces with impressive harbor views, a vibrant waterfront promenade and an iconic heritage and arts hub, offering an inspiring blend of urban relaxation, culture and sightseeing.
  • Discover Kowloon’s transformation through the brand-new Kai Tak Stadium and Kai Tak Gallery, the bustling Kai Tak Mall and Kai Tak Youth Sports Ground, the tranquil Sung Wong Toi Garden and the historic Kowloon Walled City Park. This route showcases the district’s fusion of sporting achievement, modern living, and rich local heritage.
  • Enjoy the charm of the New Territories route spans from the scenic Tsuen Wan Ferry Pier to the well-equipped Tsuen Wan Sports Centre, the captivating sunset views at the Tsuen Wan West Promenade and the Sam Tung Uk Museum, located at the site of a former Hakka walled village and home to the Hong Kong Intangible Cultural Heritage Centre. This journey offers a refreshing combination of waterfront leisure, sports facilities and a fascinating look into Hong Kong’s cultural heritage.

Visitors are also encouraged to scan the QR code for the “National Games Goal’n Go” WebAR for an interactive augmented reality experience that blends education and entertainment. Beyond the excitement of the National Games, visitors can also immerse themselves in the city’s world-class events and experience the unique charm of Hong Kong.
