Repulse Bay
Among all the Hong
Kong beaches, Repulse Bay is most famous. The English name may
sound repulsive, but the beach is not - the name came from the fact
that the British army had chased off some pirates in the old days.
The Chinese name is more descriptive - it means "Shallow Water Bay".
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! Sometimes, even December is quite balmy.
There is an interesting building that you will see there: one
with a hole!
