♥ Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay
Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay, located in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, is the most spectacular bay in the region. Its name comes from a 19th century battle in which the British army repulsed attacking pirates.It is one of the most popular beaches in Hong Kong, always packed with swimmers in summer.
Apart from swimming and sunbathing, there are some restaurants and barbeque sites at the back of the beach, very relaxing.
The clear sparkling water and fine white sand are the labels of Repulse Bay. In addition to these, "The Repulse Bay" , "The Repulse Bay Centre" right in front of "The Repulse Bay", and 129 Repulse Bay are the landmarks of Repulse Bay as well.
"The Repulse Bay" is a residential apartment nowadays, and it was built on a former hotel site. "The Repulse Bay Centre" in front of it is a very elegant, beautiful European building built during the colonial era. This building is not easily spotted, as you need to walk up the stairs after you get off the buses or minibuses (Stanley bound). It has a few restaurants and some shops, and this place was filmed in a popular Hong Kong movie as well. This is certainly another place to go besides the beautiful beach.
A lighthouse near the beach is a popular place to take photos. Watching the sunset is another popular pastime for visitors. The Zhenhai Tower Park, built in the traditional Chinese style, is located near the beach. Huge statues of the Queen of Heaven and the God of Mercy (Kwan-yin) sit in front of the park.

Transportation:
Take Buses No.6, 6A, 6X, 260 or 262 (bound for Stanley) from Central's Exchange Square or Central's Star Ferry Pier, and get off at Repulse Bay.

Deep Water Bay

On the west of the Repulse Bay, there is a Seaview Promenade connecting to Deep Water Bay. It takes around 20 minutes to reach Deep Water Bay. This is another popular beach, however Repulse Bay is more attractive and more beautiful
