A break from the shopping - Stanley Market Hong Kong


Image
IT IS RARE but YES! finally i chose to do some sightseeing in hong kong rather than shopping. C brought me to stanley market during my last visit to hong kong. we did not take the easy way out by taking a cab there. instead, we took a bus (no.6) from causeway bay to stanley market, the ride is about 30mins? i have NEVER taken a bus in hkg before , it is always the MTR or the taxi whenever i need to travel around in hkg. so, taking the mini bus to the market is something new for me. :)
if u get car sickness easily, might just have to think twice about going there, cause the route to the market has to go through quite a few turns , and it makes me feel kind of giddy.

According to C, stanley market is a "touristy" area, so the things that are selling there is slightly pricier i guess.but there are some interesting small shops that sells nice souvenirs.

the reason why i love the place is because it is right beside the sea!!!  it is just so nice to stroll along the seaside in the evening and end the night with a nice seafood dinner and some wine.

it was kind of crowded during dinner time. i guess the location and the ambience of the restaurants attracts quite a lot of people there just for a nice seafood dinner. but our dinner at OCEAN Bay was not a good experience i must say. to keep it short, they forgot our order, i have to asked three times for a glass of water before it actually appears in front of me, and the food was not tasty at all. i don't know if it is just our luck,or perhaps they are just too busy but i definitely will not go back there again.

other than the unpleasant dining experience, the night was beautiful.

A glass of wine to end the beautiful day. :)
