Stanley Plaza

A very pleasant mall located quite a distance from Central. Taking one of the buses there, you will enter the mall from the top level, making your way down to the first if you are heading to Stanley Market.
This Mall isn’t big, but there are a good number of eating places at this mall. I have been to the small little Waffle shop that is advertised along the pillars and is pretty decent. This mall is certainly a good place to chill out and enjoy some beer while taking in the beautiful view! Owners bring their dogs often at the ground level, pretty relaxing atmosphere, it’s certainly a great place to get away from the busy life in town.
When the weather turns bad, this would be a perfect place to get away from the rain! Overall I enjoyed my time here!

Stanley Plaza is a fun place to go. Whether it is for the food, the seaside, to shop even, or just to chill on a random day, every time I come here, I automatically feel relaxed.
Sometimes I come here after doing the twin peaks hike and stop by for lunch — I know, it totally defeats the purpose of hiking in the first place. When I come here for lunch after a hike on a weekend, it is usually pretty packed with locals, tourists, street performers, children and dogs.
I love how dogs are so welcomed here, it makes everything so much nicer. On a nice day, you can just sit by the seaside and people watch. I can sit like that for a couple hours.
If and when I get bored of people watching, I can go indoors to the shopping mall for a nice stroll. It has a lot of stores there, not like the typical shopping mall where all the brands are completely globalised, they have local shops, they have a massive GOD, and they have really random boutiques. I usually go to GOD, a jewellery store on the second floor and the supermarket.
Stanley Plaza has a lot of restaurants too… seriously restaurants galore. I like chilling at one of the restaurants in front of the water sipping on an ice cold beer. Best.Feeling.Ever.
Tourists love this place, and I can completely see why. There’s a stanley market which will give them the so called «traditional» side of hk, there’s the water, which they love, and then there’s good food. What’s not to love?
