Repulse Bay

Repulse Bay is Hong Kong's most popular beach, often attracting over 20,000 visitors at weekends. Because of the increasing pollution of the sea, however, most visitors come to sunbathe or laze on the beach rather than to swim.

In place of the old Repulse Bay Hotel - one of the few reminders of the early colonial period until it was pulled down - there now stands a modern building with a spectacular hole built into it which contains apartments, shops and an excellent dim sum restaurant.
