Queen Elizabeth Stadium

The Queen Elizabeth Stadium is an indoor sport facility on the Morrison Hill in Wan Chai, on the Hong Kong Island of Hong Kong. First opened in 1980, it has a 3,500-seat arena, gymnasia, squash and badminton courts, and a multi-purpose hall. It was built by the Urban Council, and is now managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government.

It is usually in Cantonese language referred as San Yi Kun (新伊館, lit. New Queen Elizabeth Stadium) because there are some indoor playgrounds in Queen Elizabeth II Youth Centre (伊利沙伯青年館, also known as Macpherson Stadium) in Mongkok.

Famous quotes containing the words queen and/or stadium:

    If it were worth while to argue a paradox, one might maintain that nature regards the female as the essential, the male as the superfluity of her world. Perhaps the best starting-point for study of the Virgin would be a practical acquaintance with bees, and especially with queen bees.
    Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)

    It’s no accident that of all the monuments left of the Greco- Roman culture the biggest is the ballpark, the Colosseum, the Yankee Stadium of ancient times.
    Walter Wellesley (Red)
