You’d be surprised at what can be found just off the beaten path of Nathan Road in Kowloon, Hong Kong. You might be thinking yet another jewelry, electronic, or clothing store catering to the mass of tourists. Instead, find the United Services Recreation Club and re-energize yourself from sight-seeing fatigue.
Us at the United Services Recreation Club
What some consider as Hong Kong’s best kept secret, the USRC is a place to enjoy a variety of recreational amenities. Enclosed in lush landscaping, the Club has a distinctly classical British decor hinting at its once military past. Nowadays, the Club is occupied by civilians and you’ll simply find it difficult not to relax and unwind here.

This place is definitely worth a visit if you have local family or friends with a membership. Better yet, if you plan on staying in Hong Kong for a while, get a membership for yourself. You can book this place for special occasions as well, making it appealing for small to medium sized events and business functions. Just remember to respect the no cell phone policy!
