Stanley Market

The first time I came to Stanley, it felt like I was back in the south of France that year. The sea is a blend of various blues, and the mood is relaxed and comfortable. There are couples strolling by the sea, either walking or sitting by the sea leaning on each other's shoulders. One place you must not miss when you come to Hong Kong is Stanley, it's so laid-back it doesn't feel like you're in Hong Kong🇭🇰 🚉Travel Guide: Take bus 6/6x/260 from Exchange Square in Central to Stanley, get off at Stanley Plaza. 📝Tips: You can use Octopus or Alipay on your phone to take the bus 📷Photo Check-in Guide: ➡️Blake Pier: You can see it as soon as you arrive in Stanley, you can take photos at the pier⛵️, it's very picturesque, and you can also go to the nearby rocks🪨 for a distant shot ➡️Stanley Main Street: Colourful houses facing the sea, very much like a small European town in the south of France ➡️Beach: If you walk along Stanley Main Street, you'll find a deserted beach🏖️, where you can sit by the sea and daydream ❤Reasons for recommendation: I have to say, Stanley is really suitable for couples, most of the people there are couples, taking photos, talking and strolling by the sea. If you're travelling as a couple, remember to come to Stanley for romance, it's a sweet atmosphere. 🗓Itinerary: Don't worry about not having anything to eat in Stanley, the prices at the seaside restaurants are a bit high, a bit like Europe. But after getting off the bus, there's a shopping mall downstairs where you can take the elevator, with lots of shops and food. I went there during Christmas🎄, I have to say, the Christmas atmosphere in Stanley was great, with all kinds of performances and activities, it was bustling. Of course, if you prefer quiet, you can go on weekdays, then it's quiet Stanley!

We love trip to the beach. So many activities could be done on the beach. Swimming, playing sand, playing ball, taning, just name what you like about. One of our favorite is Stanley Beach in Hong Kong. It also held dragon boat festival every year on June and brought a new experience in enjoying Stanley beach. #HalloTrip

| Stanley Tour Guide. It was only when I arrived at Stanley that I realized how beautiful Hong Kong's coastline really is. No wonder it's a place mentioned in the song 'Essential for an Old-fashioned Date'. People who like a slow pace and tranquility will definitely love it here. Stanley is located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, surrounded by hills and coastlines. It's a leisurely seaside town that combines tourism and residence. With Victorian-style colorful buildings and a seaside promenade, it's different from the bustling city's skyscrapers and the hurried people. There are mostly foreigners on the streets, mainly walking dogs, sunbathing, and drinking coffee. The atmosphere is so leisurely it's unbelievable, really chill and relaxing. Saying you're on vacation in Europe wouldn't feel out of place at all👏🏻 · 🚌| Transportation: I crossed the border at Futian Port, took the East Rail Line to 🚇Admiralty Station C1 exit, turned right after exiting and walked straight to see the bus station. Buses 6, 6X, 260 can all take you directly there, getting off at Stanley Plaza, about a 40-minute ride. 💬It's recommended to sit on the right side by the window on the second floor of the bus. The panoramic sea view from the mountain road along the way is absolutely stunning! 🗺️| Stanley Strolling Route: Stanley Main Street → Stanley Plaza → Murray House → Blake Pier → Stanley Market → Stanley Main Beach · 📷On Stanley Main Street, there are various Western bars and small pubs by the sea, with nearly 70 years of history. The corner house, which I thought was a landmark, is actually a restaurant, and the whole street is filled with colorful little houses. 📷 The century-old Murray House, but now it's mostly Western restaurants inside. I saw quite a few people taking wedding photos here. 📷 The nostalgic Blake Pier is just too comfortable~ It feels like it leads directly to the sea. You could sit here all day long to space out, and there are quite a few people fishing here🎣. Getting a close look at the sea and ships makes one feel exceptionally calm. 📷 Walking through the alleys to the inside is the Stanley Market, with various small shops and stalls, feeling like returning to the local streets of Hong Kong, blending local and exotic flavors, this is probably what Hong Kong is all about. · 📌| Prepare Hong Kong dollars and Octopus card:）

Stanley has always been a historic attraction in Hong Kong, a hotspot that both locals and tourists from all over come to visit. On days when I'm not traveling, I often come here to unwind for a day, have a brunch date with friends at an outdoor restaurant, stroll through the weekend themed markets at Murray House, and before I know it, a day has passed as I take in the charming sunset seascape and inadvertently snap a lot of photos. Pane e latte is a cafe I always visit, with many baked bread options!
