Stanley, or Chek Chue, is a coastal town and a popular tourist attraction in Hong Kong.

It is east of Repulse Bay and west of Shek O, adjacent to Chung Hom Kok and Tai Tam.

[1] After the annexation of Hong Kong in 1842, the British made Stanley the temporary administrative centre, before moving it to the newly founded Victoria City.

Present-day Stanley Fort was where British and Canadian troops mounted a last stand during the Battle of Hong Kong.

A number of Asian and western restaurants, a supermarket, Starbucks, McDonald's and a variety of shops can be found in Stanley Plaza.

There is a Water Sports Training Centre run by the Government located at Stanley Main Beach.

Stanley Prison is a maximum security level correctional facility, established in 1937, that houses the most hardened of criminals from the Hong Kong Judicial System.

It is responsible for planning and implementing training programmes to equip CSD staff with relevant knowledge.

Rhino Rock, or Che Pau Teng, is a famous landmark that's a short hike within Stanley.

The hike's main claim to fame is the rhinoceros-shaped rock that overlooks the Correctional Services Depart Complex and the South China Sea.

The park has an area of 50,000 square-meters featuring various thematic zones to cater for people of all ages and interests.

Pedestrian paths have been improved to enable safe and easy access to the various thematic zones, with display boards set up to introduce the birds, butterflies and plant species found in the park.

The terminus in Causeway Bay is located in Jardine's Crescent, just opposite SOGO Department Store.

The South Island MTR Line provides an alternative option for Stanley, as passengers can use the Ocean Park station (MTR) to connect to different areas in Hong Kong and change to bus and minibus services to avoid traffic congestion in north Hong Kong island and Aberdeen Tunnel.

People in Stanley can also connect to the Chai Wan MTR station by bus or number 16 minibus.
