Hong Kong's Sha Tin Racecourse will welcome visitors with dozens of valuable gold exhibits during the upcoming lunar New Year.

Gold artworks worth of an estimated eight million Hong Kong dollars (US$1 million) will be put on show this Saturday, the third day of the Chinese New Year, the local-based Ta Kung Pao newspaper reported Monday.

One of the glaring displays is a pair of shoes carved with the name of world record-holding hurdler Liu Xiang.

The shoes, estimated to be worth HK$238,000 (US$30,502), are replica of the ones that helped Liu Xiang in creating the 110-meter hurdles record at the Super Grand Prix in 2006.
