China Highlights;

Stanley was the largest settlement on the Hong Kong Island about one hundred year ago. The Hong Kong contingent of British troop was stationed here during the British rule. The place now has become a main excursion destination for the people who live in the high rises in Hong Kong and Kowloon, to escape to the area's not-so-crowded beach and free market. The important Dragon Boat race is held at Stanley during the annual Dragon Boat Festival.
