Even on a hot afternoon, as a requirement on my day off, I went off to visit Stanley Market, the small village commonly known as the fishing village in the southernmost part of Hong Kong Island to sample a delight at the al fresco restaurants on the waterfront, when I caught this little jewel sitting by the rock near the shore. I’ve been thinking about adopting another cat, I’d say I would like to get an older one instead of starting out with a kitty. At least I will now have another “playmate”. I still miss my Ginger.
My last visit there was a few years ago and I was surprised that this place has subsequently changed. It still is one of the most favourite place for tourists to find gifts for friends and relatives with numerous bargains from which you can get any Hong Kong souvenir you can think of at reasonable, negotiable prices. But since taking photos was obligatory, I took a few shots of the beautiful village. Only if I had not travelled alone, it would have been more fun.
And oh, I finally found that oversized carrier bag in my dreams, a replica of that Balenciaga leather duffel, looking similar like this. It was on sale, just about HK$320 (buy one, take one!). The filipina sales lady even thought I was a Singaporean tourist, then we exchanged words and I was impressed, aba ang husay ni Manang mag english (nice accent there). So therefore, she gave me an extra discount.
I often think that Stanley is the best place to stay because of its magnificent views. It’s a place for villas and mansions of the rich and famous. If only I was rich I’d want to live there. See more photos.
To travel Stanley Market, you can only take a bus, the best is #6, from the city. As you take the route, the bus climbs up and you can pretty much afford seeing fine views. If you want to return to town quickly, consider taking bus #260, an express bus that makes few stops along the north of Hong Kong Island, but overall, the double-decker bus travels every 25mins or so, therefore there’s more time to wander around late in the afternoon shopping in the open air Market.
It Was A Beautiful Car

K lives in Hong Kong, who loves music, homes & architectures, movie trailers and all things . My life in this city project a lot of things - it’s all about the taxis, the billboards, the sidewalks, the cinemas, the zebra lines, the lights, the cars, the sounds, the people, the skyscrapers and the shopping malls.
Masel, like what Treena say, “kaladkarin” ako. Diba mahilig syang magyaya sa kung saan? Kaya lang parang nahilo ako dun sa upper-deck.
Ahh Stanley Bay, we used to go there on weekends to eat some seafood and just walk along the market. kakamiss!
Duke, the ‘gwei’s’ get-a-way, happy hour is something you don’t wanna miss.
Charles, I think that’s a good thing, it reveals that you were able to trust people, even if you don’t know nothing about them.
