Stanley Market

Stanley Market

Stanley Market is a street market in Stanley on Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong. The street is a typical example of a traditional old open-air market in Hong Kong and has since become a major tourist attraction, well known for its bargains. Many of the stalls or shops in Stanley Market sell Hong Kong souvenirs as well as clothing - particularly silk garments and traditional Chinese dress - toys, ornaments, luggage, souvenirs, and Chinese arts and crafts. The market grew out of Chek Chu Tsuen, a village nearby.

There are several small Chinese restaurants in the marketplace and a small old Dai pai dong, one of the few left in Hong Kong. There are a variety of restaurants along the seafront too.

The nearby Stanley Main Street offers many larger restaurants, both Western and Chinese, and is a popular spot to see and be seen on the weekends.
