Hong Kong has several ice rinks, including City Plaza Ice Palace, Tsuen Wan Plaza Ice Palace, Riviera Ice Chalet and Yuen Long Ice Palace. They are favourite hangouts for kids, who like the rock music. Ice rinks provide one of few opportunities for kids in Hong Kong to experience a “winter sport”.

Patience and courage are needed to learn to ice skate.
