Straddling the neck of Hong Kong's most southerly peninsula, Stanley is a moderately attractive residential village, of which perhaps the main draw is the number of pubs and restaurants catering to expatriates. It's a tiny place - walk downhill from the bus stop and you'll soon find Stanley Market (selling a mish-mash of cheap clothes and tourist souvenirs), while a little way to the north of here is Stanley Beach , which, although not suitable for swimming, has a little row of great seafront restaurants. If you continue walking beyond the restaurants, you'll come to another Tin Hau Temple , built in 1767, on the western side of the peninsula. The temple is now surrounded by a new residential development. Inside there is a large tiger skin, the remains of an animal shot near here in 1942 - there could hardly be a more poignant symbol of how the area has changed. In the opposite direction, south down the peninsula along Wong Ma Kok Road, it's about a ten-minute walk to the fairly pleasant St Stephen's Beach, accessible by steps down to the right immediately after a playing field. Beyond here is Stanley Cemetery , containing the graves of many of those killed fighting the Japanese in World War II, and also the top-security Stanley Prison. The southern part of the peninsula is a closed military zone. Stanley is accessible on buses #6 and #260 from Central, or #73 from Aberdeen or Repulse Bay.
