The Happy Valley area is mostly a residential area of Hong Kong, located near the Happy Valley racecourse. In Chinese, it is known as the Yellow River Mud Valley or Wong Nai Chung. It was established by the British army as a barracks, but due to the high prevalence of malarial death, the marshy landscape was converted into a horse racing course. It was also used as a burial ground for the dead, which was high in the days, and for names sake, changed to Happy Valley as a common euphemism. Happy Valley offers a variety of housing options, from high rise to low rise, modern to old. Many expats and Chinese middle-income families reside in the Valley, where convenience and life style are ideal. The Hong Kong Sanitorium, a reputable private hospital is also located here. Causeway Bay is only a 10-15 minute walk away making this a cozy yet very convenient neighborhood to reside in.

The tram depot is located here, transporting people to and from the Valley and Central. Many take advantage of the cheap mode of transportation, but others may choose the faster bus and minibus routes. There are no MTR stations here, and the closest one is a 10-15 minute walk to the Causeway Bay station.
