A Hong Kong developer is building one of the world’s largest polo communities. It will have two international-standard polo fields, stables for 150 horses, a 167-room hotel, 10 restaurants, a three-storey wine cellar with a capacity of 10,000 bottles, a ballroom for 1,000 guests and conference rooms, spas, gymnasiums and a Roman-style indoor swimming pool.
