Stanley 赤柱

Many years ago, Stanley was merely a little fishing village in the southern part of Hong Kong Island and local Chinese relied on the sea for a Living. Ever since Qing Dyansty, Stanley has already been a place accommodating both the Chinese and the Western people. In 1841, the No. 2 issue of the Government Gazette described Stanley as the capital of the island with a population of 2000 and that showed its importance. Nowadays, Stanley has still preserved the traditional colour of its small fishing village on the one hand and the strong European passion on the other.自清朝赤柱已由一條小漁村發展成為華洋雜處之地,於1841年刊登的政府第2號憲報便稱赤柱為港島首府,有人口二千,可見其地位之重要。直至今天,赤柱一方面仍保留著小漁港的氣質,另一方面亦保持著濃厚的歐洲風情。
