Repulse Bay Hong Kong
Repulse Bay in Chinese is Qian Shui Wan, which means shallow water bay. Repulse Bay is in the southern part of Hong Kong Island, located in the Southern District. Because the desirable surroundings, the area has the most expensive property price in Hong Kong, only matched by the Victoria Peak.
We arrived in the late afternoon in a hot and humid weekday. There was not much visitors as the beach is mostly empty. There was a life guard on duty. The beach is rather short at most 2km in length. On the one end of the beach is the Tin Hau temple which has two huge goddess statues, a standing Kwan Yin and a sitting Tin Hau.
Repulse Bay also features some of the interesting architecture. There was a lotus shaped hotel tower which was said to belong to now deceased Hong Kong Tycoon Nina Gong. There was a new shopping center constructed along the beachfront.
Hong Kong is a very small city. The Repulse Bay is also very small. Hong Kong was once a bridge that connects the West (developed countries) and the East (Mainland China). With the opening up of the mainland China, Hong Kong needs to offer more value to attract investment and talents.
