Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay is the most famous beach in Hong Kong. The Chinese name means "Shallow Water Bay". The English name came from the fact that the British army had chased off some pirates in the old days.

In summer, this place is pretty much standing room only. But if you are from cold places where 20 degrees Celcius is just right for sun-bathing, November is the great time of year to go to avoid the crowds!

There is an interesting building that you will see there: one with a hole!
