49.

Hong Kong is well provided with venues for

cultural, sporting and recreational activities. In

1987, Town Halls, each with a 1,400 seat auditorium,

were opened in the new towns of Sha Tin and Tuen Mun

and further progress was made with building the large

Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Kowloon which is due to

open in 1989. When this is completed, there will be

as many as 21,000 theatre and concert hall seats

situated throughout the territory for performances by

local orchestras and companies and visiting

performers from overseas.

The first graduates in

music, drama, dance and related technical arts have

emerged from the Hong Kong Academy for Performing

Arts.

As regards sports, Hong Kong now possesses

exceptionally good facilities. There are a number of

modern stadia, both outdoor and indoor, some 20 full

size swimming pool complexes and 27 multi-purpose

games halls. The Jubilee Sports Centre provides

facilities and coaching for talented performers in a

number of sports.
