It is a peninsula on the southeastern part of Hong Kong Island. It is east of Repulse Bay and west of Shek O, adjacent to Chung Hom Kok. There are two possible origins of the name &#034;Chek Chue&#034;. Legend has it that the notorious pirate Cheung Po Tsai was active in Stanley. That is why the district became known in Cantonese dialect as Chek Chue (Bandit&#039;s Post). Stanley Market, a large open-air marketplace, has become well known for its bargains in clothing - particularly silk garments and traditional Chinese dress - as well as toys, ornaments, luggage, souvenirs, and Chinese arts and crafts. It is a popular destination for both tourists and locals alike. People are drawn here by the cheap goods that would usually fetch a much higher price elsewhere. .<br> Central Hong Kong, China, photo by Irene Bower.</p><br clear="all"> Sat, 9 May 2009 05:15:23 +0000
