Stanley is at the southern tip of Hong Kong Island, with its laid-back style, European style, beaches, swimming pools, exotic cuisine and local old buildings, Victorian buildings of Murray House and Bugong Pier, Tin Hau Temple and Grand King's Palace. Stanley Market is also a place to look for treasures, buy clothes and leather bags.
Murray House is a Victorian building in Hong Kong that was originally located in Central on the north coast of Hong Kong Island, but has now been relocated to Stanley, southeast of Hong Kong Island. It is currently used primarily for catering and retail purposes and is listed as a Declared Monument in Hong Kong.
Stanley is a scenic town at the southern tip of Hong Kong Island, located to the east of Repulse Bay and to the west of Shek O. It is a place with a unique history, it is self-contained and exotic. When Hong Kong was a British colony, Stanley was a British military stronghold and the administrative center of Hong Kong Island. Today, Hong Kong's most heavily guarded prison is also here. Stanley's biggest feature is the style that is full of antiques and the harmony of Chinese and Western cultures. There is a sunny beach, and whenever the sun rises, the reflected glow forms a red column on the surface of the water, hence the name "Stanley Morning Sun". In addition, tourists come to Stanley and recommend going to Stanley Market. Most of the goods sold here are mainly tourist souvenirs, such as postcards and T-shirts printed with Hong Kong attractions, antiques, accessories, etc., and even you can find genuine American jeans. The prices of goods are mostly negotiable, and girls who like to bargain can play a big role here. Stanley also has the only remaining historic ancient European Victorian building in Hong Kong, the Murray House. In addition to shopping, Stanley's restaurant and bar area is also a place for tourists to stay. Along the Stanley Bay line, there are many different styles of bars and coffee houses, Stanley's bar is semi-open-air, European style architecture, transparent long windows do not prevent you from enjoying the warm sunshine, the most special thing is that they do not use rotating fans on the walls here, but use up and down swinging fans, and add a bit of quaint taste. Stanley's bar takes a small route, compared with Lan Kwai Fong, the mood is not bad at all, and the price is affordable. In addition, the Western restaurant here combines Chinese and Western cuisine, with a fishing port flavor, which is quite stylish.
