Travel through time to see the vicissitudes of Stanley

I had half a day to spare and went to Stanley. When I was a child, I played the Hong Kong version of Monopoly. The most expensive areas were Repulse Bay and Shek O. In reality, Stanley is between the two. I remember a lot of big mansions. A long time ago, there was a terrace restaurant on the seaside. It was a popular place for celebrities to visit, and the prices were quite high. When I was young, I wanted to try it when I grew up and wanted to make money! 😅 I revisited the old place and looked for the terrace restaurant online. It seemed that it was no longer there. I walked to the seaside from Stanley Street. At that time, the location was painted yellow and the restaurant had another name... The biggest change in Stanley was the construction of Ma Hang Village. From then on, ordinary people moved to high-end areas. Stanley Plaza was originally a commercial supporting facility in Ma Hang Village, but from the beginning it oscillated between a tourist area and a livelihood store, causing a lot of trouble. dispute! As a tourist, if you have time, you can also go and see how Hong Kong's public housing and luxury homes are mixed together! Next to Stanley Plaza is Murray House. It was originally in Central. The entire building was dismantled and numbered. It was rebuilt on the shore of Stanley. It is considered a legend of heritage conservation. Now it mainly has two specialty restaurants and not many shops. The downstairs has become A temporary market. I don’t know if it was inspired by the relocation of historical monuments. Later, some of the historical monuments in Hong Kong were demolished and some were preserved around Murray House. Bugong Pier is one of them, and there is indeed a ferry service. If tourists are interested, you can Find others online and then go on a treasure hunt on site! 😜 Next to Murray House, you can find the entrance to Ma Hang Park. There is a tree-lined trail that leads to the seaside Kwun Tai Temple, the ancient well and other relics of Stanley's early residents. It turns out that Stanley also had squatters in the early years, and not all of them were big houses! You can also climb up the Ma Hang Park Trail to enjoy the distant views and enjoy a simple version of hiking. If you are lazy, it would be a good experience to have English afternoon tea in the Victorian building of Murray House. #local游 #stanleygoodplaces
