🇭🇰Stanley|Experience old-school romance

How could we know that we were talking about Stanley in a flash? ———— My earliest impression of Stanley came from the Stanley Prison often mentioned in Hong Kong dramas, and then from the lyrics of MC's "Old-school Dating Necessity". Some people praised it as the "Little Nanfa" of Hong Kong, while others said it was particularly boring, which made me even more curious about it. Seeing is believing, and you have to experience it yourself to get a better feel for it, so when I arranged the itinerary this time, I deliberately reserved one day for it. · I took the subway from Tsim Sha Tsui to Admiralty and waited for the 6x Citybus. I chose a seat on the second floor on the right because the navigation route showed that it would pass through Repulse Bay, which was the direction where I could see the sea view. The bus swayed through the mountains, with a blue bay on one side and a green jungle on the other. · At Stanley Plaza, we met groups of teachers and students who came here for a study tour. They spoke English and the children looked very lively and talkative. I walked along the sidewalk and arrived at Stanley Market. The first thing that catches your eye is a flower shop with many beautiful flowers. Attracted by a graffiti wall, I went to the popular egg tart shop Bakehause. I walked around a bit more and found that most of them were small shops selling souvenirs. Stanley is not really that big. You can visit all the popular and representative places like Murray House and Blake Pier by stopping here and there. There is no special food either. Therefore, if you come here just to check in, you might be disappointed, and even feel sorry for the nearly one-hour round trip drive. · But I like Stanley very much. I like sitting on a chair on the promenade, listening to the sea breeze and the waves, writing and drawing on the beach, picking up shells, saying hello to cute puppies I meet occasionally, and seeing what everyone is doing. These are all very pleasant and meaningful things for me! ———— Although walking and strolling may seem old-fashioned, in today's rapidly developing modernization, being able to slow down is truly precious. How can it not be considered a unique kind of romance? #Hong Kong #Stanley #Old-school dating essentials
