Repulse Bay 淺水灣
Take a slow walk through Repulse Bay to explore the intersection of colonial luxury and local history. From the terrace of the former Repulse Bay Hotel to the echoes of Eileen Chang’s "Love in a Fallen City," this story uncovers the timeless charm of Hong Kong’s most famous southern bay.
This is a historical travel story and walking guide to Repulse Bay, one of Hong Kong’s most iconic coastal destinations. By weaving together the colonial elegance of The Repulse Bay Hotel, the literary footsteps of Eileen Chang, and the area's transformation from a high-society retreat to a public beach, this walk reveals the multi-layered history behind the city's "oriental riviera."
