Stanley is a famous tourist attraction in Hong Kong and a place steeped in history. Once a British military stronghold and the administrative center of Hong Kong Island, Stanley's defining feature is its quaint charm and harmonious blend of Eastern and Western cultures. With its sunny beaches, unique architecture, and vibrant shopping and dining options, it's a popular destination for sightseeing and leisure. Today, it serves as a residence for Hong Kong's wealthy businessmen, with countless luxurious buildings emerging.


Hok Tsui, located adjacent to Dragon's Back, is Hong Kong's only coastal protected area. It boasts a diverse range of rock formations, including tuff, granite diorite, rhyolite porphyry, and basalt. Here, a symphony of sea and rock forms unfolds, with the surging waves crashing against the bizarrely shaped boulders, seemingly telling a story stretching back thousands of years. A mysterious whale skeleton lies quietly on the beach, captivating the imagination. Explore the secrets of crab caves and experience the wonders of the ecosystem. World War II relics and an ancient British lighthouse bear the profound mark of time, allowing visitors to journey through the depths of history.
