No trip to Hong Kong would be complete without a trip out to Stanley Markets. Located at the back of the main island (Central) you can get there quickly by taxi (via the tunnel) or go the long way by double decker bus (#973 for HK$14, there are others just ask before boarding) which takes you on the best tour...

It's not a huge market, but has a good variety of stalls, selling clothes, souveniers, art, caligraphy stencils, handbags and luggage, small leather goods,jewellery and jade. Most are reasonably priced and always worth trying out your bartering skills. You may find some items such as handbags are cheaper at the Temple street night market, but it is well worth a... More

I wanted to see the other side of HK and took the bus to Stanley and found the well signposed market. I had expected to find a large area of market stalls but it is in fact a small covered walkway of small shops and not as large as I had anticipated. I am not the world's greatest at walking... More

This is sort of a regular flea market but too small in size. The items on sale are not that cheap as one would expect in a flea market esp if one if from India or SE Asia like Thailand, China, Vietnam etc. The market opens up to the bay on one side and that area is lined up on... More

Take the normal bus from Central, nice views along the way. We enjoyed our outing to Stanley. Don't be fooled, the market offers some better bargains than Temple street and Ladies Markets. Lots of options for lunch, all the pubs and restaurants have blackboards with their daily specials so take your pick.

Take a taxi and enjoy the scenic ride out! I never expected to see such a view of nice beaches, villas and seaside here in HK. Markets were fun to walk through. If you have only 3 hours to spares, go there.

I've been to Stanley market many times and used to live near by so it has a nostalgic appeal for me. It's a comfortable but compact market where the sellers don't hassle you like some others. It's right by a beach with eateries and bars to suit all tastes.

It is definitely worth making the effort to get to Stanley Village to enjoy the beach, cafes and most importantly the tat market which opens in the mornings. From Kowloon you can get a 973 bus all the way for less than HKD14. The bus departs from Mody Road Bus Station and if you are on first, you can get... More

Indoor market selling items such as clothing, stamps, paintings and toys. The vendors will help you in picking items but are not pushy. It's worth a visit to Stanley and Stanley market to experience a calmer aspect of Hong Kong.

We spent a couple hours in Stanley, visiting the market and the waterfront in April, 2013. As others have noted, this is not inexpensive by Hong Kong standards, as it is clearly aimed at the tourist trade. The concentration of westerners was impressive - clearly the package tours all go to Stanley. The range of goods on offer did not... More
