Polo clubs in china ride wave of popularity

Playing polo, or even just watching the sport, can be fun and help forge business relationships, say insiders

The popularity of leading polo clubs in China is growing on the back of a surge in interest in all things equestrian, according to the luminaries of the sport.

It was not like this always. For instance, in 2005, there was only one polo venue in China. Now, polo clubs are thriving in major Chinese cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Tianjin.
