Tailor-made cricket tours in China & Hong Kong

China has become a major tourist hotspot since the captivating 2008 Summer Olympic games in Beijing.

China became members of the ICC in 2004 and the sport is now played in nine cities in China, namely Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang, Dalian, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Chongqing, Tianjin and Jinan. Although it is still a growing sport, revived only within the last decade, more than 150 schools and universities now play cricket although grounds are limited.

Why not combine your tour of Ancient China with a visit Hong Kongs truly unique city.

Hong Kong became members of the ICC in 1969 and has played in every ICC trophy, bar one, since 1982
Hong Kong is host to the annual international cricket sizes tournament sanctioned by the ICC.

Cricket in Hong Kong is played during the cooler months of the year, from September to April. Although there are numerous clubs playing cricket, not all clubs possess their own grounds and/or facilities. Junior Cricket is played from u13-u19 age levels and various inter-school competitions are played at both primary and secondary school level. The two main adult leagues are played on Saturday and Sundays.

For the men, there are two main competitions - one played on Saturdays and the other played on Sundays. The Challenge League is also played throughout the year for non-league teams.
