Sport in Macau

Football, basketball, volleyball, Dragon Boat, jogging, swimming, table tennis, and badminton are among the most popular in the community.

The game is generally played under FIBA rules and basketball courts (both outdoor and indoor) are widely available to the public.

Most of them jog or run early in the morning or in the evening along a public footpath surrounding the Guia Hill in the Macau Peninsula, which is well known among the locals because of its ideal nature for running or jogging – no vehicle traffic, path surrounded by trees and bushes, loop-path, tarmac paving, path wide enough for either directions.

In the past, the tracks were not available to the general public and were only reserved for team training, school's sports day or local competitions.

This is especially beneficial to people who live relatively far from the Guia Hill and are interested in jogging or running on a regular basis.
