Impressions of Stanley on Hong Kong Island's citywalk

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.
