Why this is considered a tourist destination I don't know. A dumpy looking market that has no character. If you end up here go to the left and grab a drink or some food from the places that look out on the bay. Avoid if you can.

Stanley market is a must for all travellers wanting to pick up bargins to take home as presents or momentoes of their stay in Hong Kong. Years ago one could bargin but now more and more fixed price notices are seen in the market. In fact be careful if you do not see these notices as then , unless you... More

Stanley Market is a real gem in this beautiful and peaceful village on Hong Kong Island. We went there on an organised tour and our only complaint was that we were not given enough time to browse this quality market. A solution to this is to make your own way back to your hotel using the regular bus service. Definitely... More

The bus ride I took to commute to Stanley Market was also the amount of time I spent there - 45 minutes. The ride was enjoyable as it took me through Repulse Bay and pretty sights. But the market itself was such a waste of time. Prices were 2-3 times higher for exactly the same thing sold at Ladies Market... More

If u want to go to Stanley market from tsim tsa tsui..you can take bas no 973 cityflyer from star jetty direct. It cost only about hkd13.60. It passes by Aberdeen and ocean park as well.. or u can take the mrt to central. Exit cross over and take bus no 260 express or bus no 6 or 6x.

Walking the markets is great fun. And since it is so close to the shoreline and other attractions that is just different from other scenes in Hong Kong, I recommend this place relatively highly. For those dim sum crazed fans or people looking for something that isn't a burger or pizza joint that might serve some lunch menu of dim... More

A visit to Stanley Market will take more than half of your day, but it is totally worth it! There is nothing great about the market, as the stuff is same what you get at TST & other places in HK. The bus ride from Central to Stanley market is superb, the beautiful small & big houses, lovely residential buildings,... More

The bus ride from Central is an adventure in itself . Sitting at the front on the top level gives a terrific view . You pass huge mansions at the top of the hill , then brush against tree branches as you wind your way down passed beautiful Repulse Bay and finally on to Stanley . The market has many... More

Having taken the Hk$10 bus from Central to Stanley wandered through market which was full of colour and stalls selling the very gifts you wanted to buy for family and friends. A quick haggle, (well for me it is otherwise I walk away), the seller is paid and the gift is yours. Now comes the difficult bit how do I... More

A little far away, but well worth the trip. You can find some great local souvenirs. Make sure you bargain to get the best price.
