During our Hong Kong trip, we explored the iconic Monster Building/Mansion, known for being a filming location for Transformers, which made it a popular attraction for tourists. Just a brief 10-minute walk from Quarry Bay MTR station, its accessibility makes it a must-visit spot. Despite the evening rain, we were undeterred in capturing memorable photos for social media. While locals cast curious glances our way, I reassured my partner that their opinions didn’t matter in a place where we were unknown. We embraced the unique experience and created lasting memories. Surprisingly, we found ourselves as the only tourists braving the rain for photos until another group arrived to join us in capturing the picturesque spot. I’m so glad we insisted on visiting this place despite the rain. Otherwise, we might have missed the opportunity to explore it by using the weather as an excuse. It rained every day when we were there btw!

🚢About the History of Stanley🚢

👉🏻Stanley was once a sparsely populated fishing village🐟, with a huge kapok tree planted in the village🌳. When the kapok's red flowers bloomed, from afar, it looked like a red pillar🎋, hence the village was named 'Stanley'.
👉🏻Stanley has been one of the main settlements on Hong Kong Island since ancient times😜, and the important local chronicle of the Ming Dynasty, 'Yue Da Ji', already mentioned the place name of Stanley🎍.
👉🏻Today, Stanley has become a melting pot of Chinese and Western cultures✨. It has the popular Stanley Main Beach🌊, where dragon boat races are held every Dragon Boat Festival🛶. It also attracts many foreigners, and the architectural style is distinctive🎃.

You must visit Blake Pier when you come to Stanley🚢
This place is really photogenic🤳

✍🏻About Blake Pier✍🏻

👉🏻Blake Pier originally was Pedder Wharf, which was rebuilt into Blake Pier in 1900🎍. The early Blake Pier did not have a roof, and a temporary thatched shelter was added in 1903, but due to wear and tear, a steel canopy was imported from the UK in 1909, making it one of the early buildings in Hong Kong Island to use low-carbon steel structures.
👉🏻It wasn't until the opening of Queen's Pier in 1925 that Blake Pier gradually faded from the historical stage.
👉🏻Although Blake Pier was demolished in 1965, its roof was subsequently transferred to the open-air amphitheater in Morse Park🎈, and in 2006, the roof of Blake Pier was moved again next to the Murray House in Stanley, reinstalled on a newly built pier in the original style of Blake Pier🛶, named Stanley Blake Pier.
👉🏻Therefore, the Blake Pier we see now is not entirely the same as the one from the past.

Stanley Blake Pier is absolutely stunning | Teresa Teng's favorite harbor

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!

Hong Kong Local Tour | Stanley

全球旅行

Stanley, the English name for the area, is located at the southernmost tip of Hong Kong Island.
Many people first heard the name from the "Stanley Prison" in Hong Kong movies. In fact, Stanley was one of the first landing sites for the British military in Hong Kong and was once a military stronghold and administrative center for the British forces. Today, Stanley has become a famous tourist attraction on Hong Kong Island, with an exotic atmosphere. Walking through it is like strolling through a European city along the Mediterranean coast.
Stanley's famous attractions include;
Murray House (pictures 1—4), originally built in 1844, was relocated to Stanley from Admiralty in 1999. It was formerly a British military barracks and is now mainly a high-end Western restaurant.
Stanley Plaza (pictures 6—7), a shopping center and food court.
Pak Tai Temple Pier (pictures 11—14), moved here from Central.
Stanley Main Street (pictures 8, 9, 15), which is home to Western-style bars.
Tin Hau Temple (picture 16), said to be over 600 years old, is one of the oldest Tin Hau temples in Hong Kong.
In addition, there is the Stanley Market, which mainly sells small commodities, a museum converted from Stanley Prison, and Stanley Main Beach, where you can swim and play in the water.

Impressions of Stanley on Hong Kong Island's citywalk

| 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.

Hong Kong Stanley's citywalk | Stanley Tour Guide

Peninsula Market. Mentioning Stanley in Hong Kong, many people will think of the famous 'Stanley Prison', also known as the Big Temple. Originally, this was a British military base, the center of Hong Kong Island.
🐟
Stanley Blake Pier area, now a famous tourist check-in spot, is not visited by everyone who comes to Hong Kong, so it's relatively less crowded here. During the day, you can enjoy the glassy sea, and at night 🏙 have a drink at the seaside bars, very comfortable.
🐟
The Murray Building was originally in Central and was later relocated here.
🍺
Nearby malls 🏬 also have fast food and coffee ☕.

Stanley Blake Pier|Peninsula 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!

I've been to Hong Kong back and forth twenty times, and this is the place to come for sea views and romance!

Stanley Day Trip: Stanley offers a diverse range of activities, from the bustling Stanley Plaza to the must-visit Stanley Market, which sells unique Hong Kong souvenirs. Besides shopping, you can take a leisurely stroll along the Stanley waterfront, feel the sea breeze, or enjoy a beer at one of the open-air restaurants on Stanley Main Street. At night, the historic and illuminated Murray House emits a classical Victorian atmosphere. Finally, you can casually find a characteristic restaurant in Stanley to enjoy dinner.

Stanley main beach is one of the cleanest beaches in Hong Kong. The name Stanley is the same as the area surrounding the beach named after Lord Stanley, the British Secretary of State at the time of Hong Kong’s handover to Britain in the 19th century. 
Stanley beach is a 10-minutes walk from Stanley Market and the promenade area. To reach the beach from downtown Hong Kong, you can take bus No. 6/6A/6X from Central, Admiralty, or Wan Chai. If you are from Tsim Sha Tsui, you can take bus No.973 from the Tsim Sha Tsui East bus terminus. 
There is no train going to this area. 
It was a great time to spend on the beach even though summer was over. The water is more relaxed but fresh to soak in your foot.
