The cross-country venue is located at the Shuangyu River Country Club, Sheung Shui, new territories and the Hong Kong Golf Club (1 Fanjin Road, Fanling, New Territories). The cross country steeplechase of equestrian competition in 2008 Olympic Games is held here. The whole venue was reconstructed from the Hong Kong Jockey Club, shuangyuhe Village Club in Sheung Shui and the adjacent Hong Kong Golf Club. The newly built venue has a 5.7 km long and 10 m wide temporary cross-country race track, with a warm-up venue, a rest area after the race and 80 temporary mags. The structure of every obstacle point on the track of cross-country race field is specially designed by experts. In order to enhance the drainage performance of the field, the soil is re excavated and sand is paved. The surface layer of sand is specially treated to store organic fertilizer and provide plant nutrients; the sand in the middle layer is mainly hydrophobic, and the sand in the bottom layer is drainage. The grass on the cross-country track is not only planted with sand (not soil), but also "Bermuda grass". There are more than 40 places on the track where Zoysia is planted to further improve the quality of the track.
