...Apart from shopping at the Stanley Market and dinning 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 day 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' 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!
除了在市集瘋狂購物和在海濱的西餐廳吃飯看海,遊客們還可以在赤柱做五件重要而有趣的事……
(1)在赤柱郵政局寄明信片
在赤柱市集買了很多有香港美景的明信片,想立刻寄給親朋好友分享旅途樂事,你們就要到赤柱郵政局了。赤柱郵政局建於1937年,是香港最古老而仍在運作的郵政局。
(2)在舊赤柱警署買飲品
在赤柱「血拼」後,非常口渴,你們就可到在郵政局旁的超級市場–舊赤柱警署–買飲品解渴。保育古蹟在寸金尺土的香港十分困難,能把建於1859年的古蹟活化再利用變身為超級市場,實在難能可貴。
(3)憑弔赤柱軍人墳場
赤柱有市集,皆因以前駐守赤柱的英軍需要購買食物補給。日本侵略香港時,英聯邦軍人在赤柱抵抗至最後一刻,才在1941年聖誕節投降。有英勇捐軀的軍人長眠於赤柱軍人墳場,遊客可從巴士總站步行十五分鐘左右到墳場憑弔一番,同時欣賞赤柱美景。
(4)參觀赤柱天后廟
赤柱天后廟在市集的另一邊,距市集十分鐘步程,遊客常常把它忽略。其實赤柱天后廟供奉超過十個神像,一如一間中國宗教博物館或宗教「超級市場」,是想多認識滿天神佛或求神拜佛的好地方,而廟中的「老虎皮」亦是有趣的展品。
(5)到赤柱廣場吃點心
過去赤柱沒有在衛生和口味上適合遊客的點心酒樓。現在遊客在購物前後,可到赤柱廣場內的點心餐廳大快朵頤。此新餐廳茶芥全免,有著各種經改良的炒粉麵飯,而最傳統的蝦餃和燒賣,就做到一個蒸籠只有一顆,像精品一樣,要多少,點多少,不怕浪費食物!

Premium HongKong and kowloon Island tour - Great for cruise ship passengers and business traveller
The bustling city of Hong Kong was just a collection of fishing villages when claimed by Britain in 1842 following the First Opium War with China. This failed attempt by the Ching Dynasty to stop the British trading in opium led to Hong Kong being ceded to Britain under the Treaty of Nanking that year. The Kowloon Peninsula was handed over in 1860 and a 99-year lease on the New Territories, comprising the area north of Kowloon up to the Shenzhen River plus 235 outlying islands, was granted in 1898.

Under the unique principle of 'One Country, Two Systems', Hong Kong returned to Chinese sovereignty on 1 July 1997 as a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. This arrangement allows Hong Kong to enjoy a high degree of autonomy, retaining its capitalist system, independent judiciary and rule of law, free trade and freedom of speech.
