WELCOME TO STANLEY MARKET IN HONG KONG

Stanley Market is one of the must-go places for tourists when they visit Hong
Kong.  You will find an interesting array of little shops selling silk garments,
sportswear, art, Chinese costume jewelry and souvenirs.  While a bit "touristy"
if you are a tourist it will certainly help you to cross off all the items on
your souvenirs-to-buy-Aunt-Jane shopping list.  A hard morning of shopping is
also nicely finished off by a good lunch at one of the many restaurants, which
are the reason that Hong Kong locals also frequent the area. Google Earth

PLANNING A TRIP TO STANLEY MARKET

Don't want to get caught out and waste your vacation time at Stanley Market?
Spend a little time to plan your visit and see not only the Market itself but
also the other attractions in the Stanley area of Hong Kong. Decide what you
want to spend more time on and make sure that you get your souvenirs, your lunch
and some time.

Less crowded than the Ladies Market of Mongkok or Temple Street Night Market the
atmosphere is a little more relaxed and laid back in Stanley. Being away from
the city and close to the beach encourages the holiday feeling as for whether
you eat in the Stanley Plaza, along with the promenade at one of the many
alfresco restaurants you'll certainly feel at home.



Beyond the market and the beach and if you keep walking, you will find Stanley
Plaza Square which is an open area overhung with old trees.



Go up the escolator into the Stanley Plaza itself which is a modern indoor
shopping arcade and an excellent way to avoid the heat while continuing your
shopping. Interior décor shops sit side-by-side with restaurants and fast food.
You'll find banks here to draw some more cash if you want to continue shopping
in the market! 

Check out the "Lover's Terrace" with great views over Stanley Bay, Murray House
and of course in the distance Blake Pier.



Stanley has been inhabited for hundreds of years and was once a major fishing
port, as a prosperous and important small town it has its share of temples which
are well worth a visit. They are actively in use as places of worship so some
respect should be shown, but local worshipers are very used to tourists having a
look around, so there won't be an issue if you want to take a few pictures in
the temples.



Getting to Stanley is the first challenge in arranging your visit as it is on
the far southern side of Hong Kong island and transport options are more limited
than along the north where the Central business district is located. Starting at
the Star Ferry pier in Central, any form of public transport is going to take at
least an hour, perhaps an hour-and-half, so do consider taking a taxi which will
cut that time down to about 40 minutes if the traffic is usual.



If you do take a taxi, the driver will probably expect to go via Route 1, which
would be closer and cheaper but not that much faster. If you have limited chance
to see things consider asking the driver to go via Route4, through Chia Wan,
Shek O, and the Tai Tam road. This route is longer and so will cost more but
will let you see a lot of different types of Hong Kong landscape that you
wouldn't normally see, including the Tai Tam Tuk Reservoir, while still getting
you to Stanley in around the same time because portions of the route are very
fast highway.

Public transport, by comparison, will end up with you taking the last part of
the trip, on a bus or minibus, though the first portion of the trip can now be
taken on the MTR or "underground" railway although some of the rails are in fact
above ground. The only exception are the few buses, such as 6X and GMB 40, which
takes you to the Stanley Plaza shopping arcade and will mean you are seeing
Stanley "backwards", with the market as the last part.

As there are many things to see at Stanley and most of them are best enjoyed in
the daytime, it is best to set off early for your day and arrive no later than
mid morning. Though some shops and stalls open earlier, you won't find
everything available until that time.



The bus or minibus or a taxi will stop near or on Stanley Market road and it is
just a few steps downhill into the market proper. The beach, promenade, Murray
House and other things you might want to see can be reached by walking through
the market first. So take a quick pass through the market as far as the
promenade and make your own decision as to how much time you'd like to spend on
actual shopping vs sightseeing and dining.

From the market walk at least along past the restaurants, to see Murray House up
close. This will take you past the beach, the plaza and the Tai Wong Temple
which is the small one by the roundabout, and in the distance across the open
Plaza Square see the Tin Hau Temple which is across the square. At Murray House
decide whether or not to continue into the Stanley Ma Hang Park which will give
you some pleasant green views, the small Pak Tai Temple to view, and a much more
countryside feel. It would be a great decision if the market was a bit too much
hustle and bustle for you or some of your party.



With choices of marketing stall shopping, air-conditioned shopping, dining both
sit-down and snacking, either inside or alfresco, with the beach, the park and
temples you will find a range of activities suitable for anybody here.
