Stanley Main Street Waterfront

Stanley is renowned for its many bars and restaurants on its waterfront along Stanley Main Street where visitors can enjoy a variety of different foods (including French, Italian, American, Indian and Thai) or relax with a beer and soak up the friendly atmosphere in one of its bars, such as the Smugglers Inn - an English styled pub that's very popular with both tourists and expats.

Murray House - a Victorian-era building located at the end of Stanley Main Street in Hong Kong. The building is relocated from Central. Built in 1844, it is part of Murray Barracks when Hong Kong was under the 4th year of British rule as a crown colony.

Situated beside Murray House is Blake Pier at Stanley.

Originally located in Central, Blake Pier was first dismantled in 1965 and later relocated to Morse Park to form the roof of the Morse Park pavilion.

Now it has returned to its role as a public pier in Stanley, complementing the colonial architectural style of Murray House.

The larger of the two beaches - Stanley Main Beach, which is also popular with windsurfers, hosts the Stanley Dragon Boat Championships each year in June to celebrate the Tuen Ng Festival.

The Stanley Dragon Boat Championship has live global broadcast throughout the event on (RTHK Radio 3 - available over the last 10 years on AM567 or for Stanley area on FM106.8 stereo).

To the west of Stanley Main Street, past the amphitheatre in Stanley Plaza is the Tin Hau Temple (Temple of the Queen of Heaven). Built by Cheung Po Tsai in 1767, it is one of the oldest temples in Hong Kong.
