Rowing in Hong Kong

By the Watta Team · Updated March 2026

Hong Kong has a vibrant rowing community centred on the Shing Mun River in Sha Tin, home to the Hong Kong Rowing Centre and the annual Head of the Harbour race across Victoria Harbour. The city's dense fitness landscape means Concept2 ergs are widely available in gyms, CrossFit boxes, and rowing clubs. Indoor rowing is especially popular given Hong Kong's humid climate and limited outdoor training windows.
