This is arguably the most popular pub on the Stanley waterfront, offering perhaps the closest
thing to an English pub in Hong Kong.
SHOPPING
CLOTHING, HOUSEWARES
G.O.D.
Shop 105, Stanley Plaza; 10.30am-8pm; 6, 6A, 6X, 260)
One of the coolest born-in-Hong Kong shops around, G.O.D. does irreverent takes on clas-

OUTLETS
HORIZON PLAZA
in Central)
Tucked away on the southern coast of Ap Lei Chau, this enormous outlet, in a converted
factory building, boasts more than 150 shops over 28 storeys. Most locals come here to buy
furniture, but you'll also find Alexander McQueens on offer and Jimmy Choos at knock-

Our favourites are

let. (A heads-up: waiting for the lifts is a frustrating exercise here; it's wise to start from the
top floor and work your way down.)
To get there, take bus 90 and alight at Ap Lei Chau Estate Terminus. Then take the free
shuttle minibus that operates (irregularly) between 7.45am and 7.30pm. There's no bus stop
for the shuttles. Wait at the bus station's staff booth near the taxi stand, or it's a 20-minute
walk to the outlet.
MARKET
STANLEY MARKET
No big bargains or big stings, just reasonably priced casual clothes, bric-a-brac, souvenirs
