Descriptions:
Stanley Market - Lying at the south end of Hong Kong Island, the Stanley Market possesses beautiful beaches, including one of the 'Eight Scenes of Hong Kong', the East Bay of Stanley. It is said that when the sun rises every morning, rays of sunshine reflect on the water surface, forming a red pillar. That was why Stanley was given the Red Pillar as its Chinese name. Another saying is that there used to be many kapok trees with bright red flowers, so they looked like red pillars, thus the Red Pillar. However, its English name Stanley was given by the former Prime Minister of Britain, Lord Stanley.
