Five things, which the travelers forget to do at Stanley Market

Five things travelers should do at Stanley

Apart from shopping at the Stanley Market and dining at the Stanley waterfront, travelers can do five more important and interesting things at that famous small peninsula.

(1)Mail the post cards at the Stanley Post Office

If you want to mail the beautiful post cards to your friends after shopping at Stanley, you can go to the Stanley Post Office, which was built in 1937. 

It is the oldest post office in operation in Hong Kong.

(2)Buy the drinks at the Old Stanley Police Station

After shopping, you may feel very thirsty.  You can go to the Old Stanley Police Station, which is a supermarket today.

The old police station was built in 1859.  The government just restores and re-uses it.  

So you can buy the drinks at a special supermarket, which is the heritage building.

(3)Visit the Stanley War Cemetery

British soldiers were the first customers of the Stanley Market.  

During WWII, the Commonwealth soldiers at Stanley fought until the last minute and surrendered to the Japanese on the Christmas evening of 1941.  

Lots of heroes, who lost their lives in the line of duty, were buried at the Stanley War Cemetery.  

You can visit the cemetery to salute the heroes and enjoy a good view of Stanley Peninsula.

(4)Visit the Goddess of the Seas Temple

The Goddess of the Seas Temple is often ignored by the travelers because of its location.  

It is actually a museum of Chinese religions or Chinese religion supermarket, as the temple has more than 10 gods' statues.  

You can learn more about the Chinese religions or get the helps from different gods very easily.  

Also the 'tiger skin',which was taken from a killed tiger at Stanley in 1942, is an interesting exhibit.

(5)Enjoy dim sum at the Stanley Plaza

Now you can enjoy very good dim sum at a restaurant at the Stanley Plaza.  

The restaurant has lots of modernized traditional Chinese cuisines.  

If you are not very hungry and just want to have a light meal, you may even just order ONE shrimp dumpling and ONE pork dumpling. 

Remember the normal Chinese tea is free of charge!

If YOU want to have a private tour, which includes visit to Stanley, YOU may contact Frank the tour guide for private tour planning.
