赤柱(Stanley)

I initially wanted to keep this entry short with a few pictures, but i simply cant as i browse thru the stack of photos that i have gotten from this little town.

Located at the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island, its a 40 mins drive from central.
I'm glad i went to this place despite that it wasnt in our itinerary.

Even before we reached, the view from the bus that we board was already scenic enough to leave me with no regrets choosing this location.

Hong Kong isnt a place that you would think of visiting a beach, looking at sea was astonishing for me from the top of the hill.

I'm guessing that the properties here are as costly as those located at The Peak.

We took the stairs down to reach the beach...

A peaceful fishing session rewarded with great views and serenity is definitely a great getaway from the usual busy life.
