Hong Kong’s major sporting events take place at the Hong Kong Stadium. It was redeveloped from the old Government Stadium, and reopened as the Hong Kong Stadium in 1994. The stadium seats an audience of 40,000 people with place for 18,240 on the main level, 3153 executive seats, 48 seats for wheel chair users and 18,559 upper level seats.

The seating at the stadium can be summarized as follows:

  • 18240 at main level
  • 18559 at high level
  • 3153 suite level
  • 48 wheel chair users

The stadium is located in So Kon Po valley near Causeway Bay, on Hong Kong Island. The stadium is the preferred venue for most international football matches held in Hong Kong, as well as the Hong Kong Sevens rugby tournament. In fact it hosted the IRB Rugby World Cup Sevens twice, in the years 1997 and 2005.

The Stadium offers a host of other facilities, like refreshment kiosks serving international fast food like McDonald’s, Kentucky Fried Chicken and so on.

Initially it was planned to make the stadium not just a sports but an entertainment arena as well, as it had a huge seating capacity compared to the Hong Kong Coliseum. The latter is thoroughly over-used, as it is the only place for popular entertainment programs.

However, since 1999, the stadium has not been allowed to hold entertainment programs, as it is open-aired and causes noise pollution for residents of neighboring tower blocks who are quick to complain. Because of this a new multi-purpose stadium is being planned at South Eastern Kowloon. Once constructed, the Hong Kong Stadium will be demolished and in its place a luxurious housing project will commence construction.

The new multi purpose stadium will be called the Kai Tak Stadium and have a seating capacity of 45000.

Whenever you are in Hong Kong and take some time off to catch the latest sporting event at the stadium, you can stay at the Eaton Hotel Hong Kong, which is an excellent Hong Kong hotel if you are particular about superior comfort and modern conveniences.

Bring nature into your living room and liven up the atmosphere by indulging in indoor gardening. It not only gives your interiors an aesthetic touch, but also works as a great relaxant. Who wouldn’t want to be in the company of beautiful plants and flowers after a long day at work.

They also function as natural air purifiers by ridding the atmosphere of unwanted carbon dioxide and turning it into life sustaining oxygen. Whatever choice you may have, be it tropical, exotic or common indoor plants, all of them add aesthetic value to a home and make it look more welcome and cozy.

Following are some useful indoor gardening tips to ensure that your indoor plants stay healthy and lively:

What food is to us, sunlight is to plants. Plants require from moderate to high levels of sunlight to survive. Every plant has it’s own diet levels for sunlight, thus, when shopping for indoor plants, you must look up the instructions to check how much sunlight the plant requires and what’s the best location to ensure they get their feed. Some may even need direct and bright sunlight and hence may need to be placed close to a south-facing window.

Plants that need low sunlight can be kept anywhere indoors as long as they get a minimal supply of natural light. They can also be kept near windows but with caution as too much light can burn them down, so a little distance should be maintained. Few varieties of plants that feed on low to medium levels of sunlight are Boston ferns, African Violets and Philodendrons.

Any list of indoor gardening tips will be incomplete if it doesn’t offer watering instructions. Indoor gardeners all over the world are accused of being too generous to the extent of killing the plants when it comes to watering. Like sunlight, every plant has its own watering requirements and should be subjected to no less or no more than that. Too much water can even rot some plants. A water gage will be a good investment to maintain a tab on the moisture levels of the soil, to keep it in synchronization with the plants requirements. Such gages are an economical means to balance the watering levels of different plants.

Another important indoor gardening tip is to always pay heed to the fertilizer requirements of the plants. For example, an indoor plant like African Violet, looks beautiful when bought afresh, however its leaves start yellowing over a period of time and eventually fall off. This is mainly due to the fact that many nursery owners use special fertilizers to catalyze the plants growth and make them look as much appealing as possible to the prospective customers. However, once bought, if they are not fertilized and taken care of in the same way, they die. Hence, you must ascertain each plants fertilizer needs at the time of purchase, so that you can take best care of them later.

It is always helpful to take professional advise from a plant specialist to know about your indoor plants fertilizer needs. Following all such indoor gardening tips dedicatedly will keep your garden lively and blooming.
