⇨ Stanley
This charming Southside town is often likened to the French Riviera and between its charming low-rise buildings, open-air market, and beautiful sea views, it’s easy to see why. (The sizeable French population helps, too.)
Relaxing on the boardwalk with an ice-cold beer in hand is a must when in Stanley, as is rifling through the wares at the market. While there are some typical touristy keepsakes to be found here, there are also plenty of surprises too; board games, Egyptian cotton bedsheets, silk-lined jackets, and affordable art frames, among others. For a souvenir you can eat, check out Stan Café, which some (ahem, us) claim to have “arguably the best baguettes in Hong Kong.”
