It is no exaggeration to say that Stanley is one of the most popular tourist spot in Hong Kong! In Stanley, you can enjoy an absolute nice day. You can buy a lot of Hong Kong style souvenir, enjoy the good view and have a delicious lunch or dinner!

5. Murray House
   When it comes to the attractions in Stanley, no doubt, the Murray House is an indispensable part absolutely!
   For the Murray House , "it is a restored Victoria-era building (1844) that was named after Sir George Murray (1772-1846), a British soldier and politician.  Architectural design was done by Major Aldrich and Lieutenant Collinson of the Royal Engineers, who actually did the construction. In 1982 it was dismantled to make way for the Bank of China Tower which now sits on the original site.  It was finally reassembled in it's present location in Stanley behind the end of Stanley Main Street."(according to the web-site of http://www.hk-stanley-market.com/Murray-House/) And nowadays, it is one of the cultural heritage in Hong Kong.
  Today, it involves a museum (Hong Kong Maritime Museum) at the ground floor and some restaurants at the first and second floor. Certainly, it is also a good place for photo taking!
