Local Hong Kongers' Secret Walking Map｜Stanley

Hong Kong's romance is hidden in the sea breeze of Stanley✨ Tired of Mong Kok and Tsim Sha Tsui? Come here to enjoy the sea breeze and stroll the old streets for a full dose of healing! 🚶‍♀️【Stanley Street Stroll｜Colorful Seaside Perfect for Photos】 Take bus No. 6 directly from MTR Admiralty Station, and as soon as you get off, you'll be struck by the colorful houses on Stanley Street! Macaron-colored low-rise buildings line the waterfront, with bougainvillea climbing the walls. When the sea breeze blows, petals fall onto the stone pavement, and even the air feels sweet. The shops along the street are very unique, including a creative store selling handmade silver jewelry where the owner shares design stories in Cantonese; and a café filled with greenery where you can sit outdoors drinking coffee, looking up at the deep blue sea view and down to see seagulls skimming the water surface📸 At the end is the seaside promenade. Rent a vintage bike (HKD 30/hour) and ride along the coast. The sunlight sparkles on the water, and passing newlyweds taking wedding photos makes the air feel even more romantic. 🍢【Authentic Snacks｜The Flavor of the Seaside】 ✅ Stanley Market Egg Waffles (first shop at market entrance): freshly baked original egg waffles, crispy outside and soft inside, bursting with buttery aroma. The owner granny will smile and ask, "Do you want condensed milk?" Perfect to enjoy with the sea breeze! ✅ Wong Kee Snacks (12 Stanley Street): curry fish balls are chewy and flavorful, with curry sauce thick enough to cling to the balls. The fish balls burst with juice when bitten. Order a side of radish, stewed until it melts in your mouth. Only HKD 15 to eat until full. ✅ Seaside Iced Lemon Tea (mobile stall): freshly brewed iced lemon tea by an uncle, with a strong tea flavor that’s not bitter. Holding two ice cubes in your hand, take a sip by the sea—the coolness spreads from your tongue to your toes. 🏛️【Vintage Photo Spots｜Free to Shoot Amazing Photos】 🔹 Murray House: British colonial-style building with red brick walls and white columns.
