This historic street market on the city's serene south coast is as popular with locals as it is with tourists. Go here for souvenirs like lacquerware, embroidered tablecloths, prints and paintings.

We stumbled on the markets in a visit to the beach on a recent trip. We fell In love with the whole area. On the day we went mid week all was quiet and beautiful. Swimming restaurants etc were excellent. We headed for the markets in the evening and had we known they were as good as they were we would have gone earlier. Great selection of stalls and some lovely art work, Preferred them to Ladies Market. The stall holders themselves were friendly and not too intense. Would highly recommend.

Would definitely recommend visiting PMQ on weekends, cool independent shops, restaurants and sometimes a market inside. Nice place to just grab a picnic table and hang out as well. Lots of other sights along the road as well including a Chinese temple
3. Stanley

Stanley is very different to other parts of Hong Kong, or completely different from what you think about Hong Kong. Stanley, located at the southern of Hong Kong island, is much more relaxed with beaches, hills and coves. You will find the western atmosphere in this small Chinese town.

Many tourists only get as far as the famous Stanley Markets but if you explore just a little further, Stanley also has a couple of good beaches, a lively waterfront promenade with a stretch of bars and restaurants, Ma Hang Park and historic buildings like Blake Pier, the colonial police station and Murray House as well as several temples. In particular Ma Hang Park gets largely overlooked but it has easy, short hiking trails and boardwalks that lead you past coastal views and the Pak Tai and Kwun Yum temples. Entry is free. Stanley is an excellent half day trip. Several Citybus buses run directly there from the Central bus terminus at Exchange Square (6, 6A, 6X and 260). They run regularly and take between 30 – 50 minutes. Taxis are reasonably inexpensive (about $80HKD) but if you have the time, it is well worth taking the bus. Sit upstairs on the double-decker to get the most out of the scenic trip as the bus hurtles around the narrow winding coastline road, past Repulse Bay and Deepwater Bay. Kids will enjoy this and at times, it’s not unlike an amusement park ride, especially if you have the front seats at the top. If you have a full day to explore, then you might like to get off at Repulse Bay, have a quick look around and continue onto Stanley.

the pulse brings together a unique blend of beach-side shopping and gourmet dining on an 800-foot long sandy promenade. You will be dazzled with a 180 degree panorama sea view. Come and treat yourself to a relaxing moment: breathe in the sea breeze, bathe in the sunlight, and be pampered in the pulse.
