water skiing, off Repulse Bay

What is good about Repulse Bay is the calm water condition which is good for water skiing and other water sports.

GUAN IM at Repulse Bay

This big Guan Im was built on the Eastern end of Repulse Bay, of course a tourist spot for photos.... I heard Japanese, Thai, Korean, Mandarin, English, French, German around me...

Repulse Bay

I prefer the old Repulse Bay as the sand is more powder. About 15-18 years ago, it was reclaimed with a large area of rough small rocks. Yes I call it as small rocks rather than sand. Don't know why the planner bought such rough quality of small rocks.

villas by the sea

Look at how the houses were built on the rocky area by the sea.... Don't you want one?

3 bros off Repulse Bay

When I first visited Repulse Bay at my high school time, I often thought of 3 little brothers in the sea. Every time when I return, I often get happy to see them still united.

tourist place, repulse bay

OK, I found myself a tourist for taking this photo. This place is a must for all the inbound tour.

a mega mall, repulse bay

This place was bought by Emperor Group and renovated for more than 8-10 years. It is soon to be open in the coming summer. Do you still remember KFC and McDonald's were there?

Beach rd, Repulse Bay

the Starbucks used to be a property agent, and was a Dairy Farm Ice Express station (I think more than 25 years ago). Above it should be Oliver's Deli shop - where I got my morning sandwich for a day of hiking and swimming.

BBQ Canteen

This place used to be a canteen selling various snacks. Now a BBQ canteen - getting commercial.

villas on repulse bay rd

Lots of luxury villas around this corner of the west end of Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay, Hong Kong

I still remember how Repulse Bay looked like. At least the beach line is not that thick, and there weren't such high rise buildings on the behind.
