Hong Kong Stanley

Stanley is located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. You can reach your destination by public transportation. We chose to sit on the upper deck of a double-decker bus, enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way. After passing through the Western Tunnel, we passed by the University of Hong Kong, Mary Hospital, Aberdeen, the cable car of Ocean Park, Deep Water Bay, and Shallow Water Bay, and arrived at Stanley Plaza. Walking along the waterfront promenade, you will sincerely admire the clear sea water and beautiful reefs here. Before Victoria Harbour was built, Stanley was the administrative center of Hong Kong. At the other end of the promenade is the "Tin Hau Temple" built in the Qianlong period, with a couplet that reads "The grace of heaven is vast and the red pillar is stained, and the later German is towering and the fragrance of the river". It explains the long history of Stanley. We walked on the fine sand and strolled on the Chung Hom Kok Beach. At the Pak Tai Temple Pier, we imagined the scene of welcoming Sun Yat-sen and many governors. We had a cup of coffee at Stanley Plaza and had lunch at Murray House. Then we couldn't help but raise our cameras everywhere... After playing at Stanley Plaza, it takes about ten minutes to walk to Chung Hom Kok Beach, where there are fewer people, the beach is more beautiful, the sea is wide, and it is also a sailing training base! It is also the bus terminal, so you can take the bus directly after playing! Stanley is located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island. You can reach your destination by public transportation.
