Repulse Bay ^0^

Hello everyone!!! Do you like the Sun and Breach in summer? I think that most of them will say “Yes”. Now, I will suggest you go to the “Repulse Bay”. Where is it?? It is located at the southern of Hong Kong, Bolan road of Wan Chai. Why I will introduce this to you? This is because it is the largest and one of the popular breaches in Hong Kong.

Before I start to tell you the attraction of Repulse Bay, do you know why it is calling a “Repulse Bay”? In 1841, the Repulse Bay was used to prevent the pirates and caused serious concern to foreign merchant ships trading with China, because the pirates were subsequently repulsed by the British Fleet, the bay was named 'Repulse'.

 

However, there are not any pirates now, but you can see the wonderful sea view and distinctly resort-like atmosphere in this place. This is because the area is a getaway from the city with its long line of coast and smooth sands. This means that the water quality of the Beach is good. Therefore, it is a good place for the citizens and tourists to “recharge” themselves. Besides, it has features changing facilities, showers, parking, as well as several bars and restaurants.

 

 

Then, the picturesque garden is near the breach which has standing two statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau. They are two of the gods in China and the protectors of fishermen. Therefore, there are many people go there to worship them. If you don’t trust that, I think you can see the traditional Chinese architecture. I think it is a good place to take photos before you go to breach.

When you feel hungry, there are many restaurants near or in plaza (影灣園), such as barbecued restaurants, special food restaurant, café and fast food restaurants. I have some tips if you go to barbecued restaurants. Their opening hour is from 3pm to 2am and the price around HKD$40 to $200. And you need to check the restaurant is providing the self-service barbecue or not. After that, you can go to the Plaza to see their decoration. It is very beautiful with European architecture. Please don’t wait!! Let’s go to the “Repulse Bay”

 

The transportation: you can take Bus 6, 6A, 6X, 66 or 260 from Exchange Square Bus Terminus (MTR Hong Kong Station Exit D) or Taxi.

I hope this map can help you, so let go to visit it!!!!!(Repulse Bay guideline and map guide)
