Hong Kong Repulse Bay

Located in the south of Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay is one of the most magnificent residential areas in Hong Kong. This beautiful bay was turned into a beach resort at the beginning of the last century. The area was once home base to large numbers of Chinese pirates and the British Navy was called in to deal with the situation. They were successfully repulsed and that is how the bay got its name. For those doing Hong Kong tours, the area has been a favorite spot for shoppers and sun worshippers for over a century.
