Game of "Go"---Where at?

Does anybody know where there are any Clubs in HK that specialize in the game of GO or I-GO as it's called in JGanese?
I forgot the Chinese name for it.

FYI: It's the board game with the black and white stones.

I discovers this game while living in JGan and would like to achieve a black-belt ranking.

Thanks

Yes.  The Hong Kong Go Association has a headquarters in WanChai - I think it's 252 Hennessy Rd.

I HIGHLY recommend David Fotland's Many Faces of Go - it's a multiple champion computer go, and is still currently the strongest computer program out there, with great tutorials and teaching problems.  It will definitely get you up to black-belt level.  There's a free trial, but for the quality of the game it's dirt cheap to buy outright, so don't skimp yourself.

What level are you??

PS the Chinese name is Wei Qi (putonghua) or Wai Kei (cantonese).
