In-depth tour of Repulse Bay, Hong Kong｜Understanding the sincerity of history and the illusion of literature and art

#HongKongIn-depthTour If you ask me which destination to choose when traveling in Hong Kong, the scenery of Repulse Bay may not be top-notch, but it should never be measured solely by its scenery. More than just a beach, this place hides Hong Kong’s centuries-old stories and literary soul. It is a wonderful place where history and literature are intertwined. 🚇 Hong Kong Island's back garden with convenient transportation As the most "accessible" summer beach in Hong Kong, it can be reached in less than half an hour by taking the Citybus from Admiralty, Wan Chai or Tsim Sha Tsui. You can enjoy the beach and sunshine without traveling long distances. No wonder it has become the first choice for Hong Kong residents and tourists. 🏰 Legends of the rich and the mark of the times In the eyes of Hong Kong drama fans, Repulse Bay is always closely linked to stories about wealthy people. As early as the 1920s and 1930s, thanks to its unique geographical location, this place has been the exclusive backyard of Hong Kong celebrities. Walking along the beach, you seem to be able to get a glimpse of the social life of the aristocrats in the past. Every inch of the beach is filled with the luxury of the years. 📖 A sacred place of inspiration for literary masters When talking about Repulse Bay, we can’t avoid mentioning Eileen Chang. She wrote the astonishing words here: "Life is a gorgeous robe, covered with fleas." She also created "Love in a Fallen City" with Repulse Bay as the background, integrating the entanglement of love and current affairs into the sea breeze and sand waves. Even the first meeting between Mr. Yi and Wang Jiazhi in "Lust, Caution" took place on this beach, where the romance of literature and film intersects. 🏨 A magnificent transformation from a hotel to a landmark The Repulse Bay Hotel, completed in 1921, is the stage where Bai Liusu and Fan Liuyuan met in "Love in a Fallen City". Although it has now transformed into the commercial center of the high-end residential "Shah Alam", the atrium courtyard, spiral staircase and arched wooden windows still retain the retro British style. Sitting in the restaurant, a cup of tea and a window are telling stories that span centuries. If you love Hong Kong history, are obsessed with Zhang Ailing's writings, or want to find a corner with both scenery and stories, Repulse Bay is definitely worth a careful savor - because here, the past and the present, the real and the unreal, have long been integrated. #HongKongTourism #Repulse Bay In-depth Tour #HongKongHistory #Eileen Chang #HongKongDramaFilmingLocation #LiteraryCheck-in
