Hello everyone, today we will go Stanley
again. (OMG......again?).
Today we have to visit some famous sights
and historical moments of Stanley. We need to know more about “Old Hong Kong”.
Most likely the visitor has already went to the Stanley Market.
(After you
followed our Blog :P) It is definitely worth the half-day or so it will take to
visit however Stanley offers much more to while away the hours. Such as there
are some historic military sites. If you didn’t know them before, Okay, let’s
go with us! GOGOGO!!!!
大家好呀，今日我地又去赤柱！（唔係掛？又去？之前咪介紹過囉！）
唔係唔係，你搞錯啦，我地又點會咁無誠意呢：Ｐ
拿！如果大家有留意我地個blog就應該對赤柱市集唔陌生啦，其實仲有好多好有特色同埋歷史遺產位於赤柱呢個小鎮架！你唔知道呢？今次我地要懷舊一下，去赤柱睇下啲名勝古蹟啦，唔好成日掛住行街買野啦！
好！一於一齊探索舊香港！今日我地有好多地方要去！
出發啦～～～美少女們～～～
The first stop is Old
Stanley Police Station.
Address: 88 Stanley Village Road
第一站：舊赤柱警署
地址：赤柱村道88號
Stanley is a favorite destination for shopping, also the visitors can get their supplies from a very special local supermarket.
Stepping inside, you will be attracted by the antiquate wooden floor. You will find that the layout is unusual, with several large vintage fireplaces by the shelves. This supermarket is unique because it was formerly the Stanley police station.
赤柱除左係著名既旅遊熱點外，其實呢度更有一間非常別緻既惠康超級市場。
如果你一入店內，你就會發現呢間超級市場既間隔好特別，貨架旁仲有幾個大型壁爐，而佢最與眾不同既地方就在於佢既前身就係—間舊赤柱警署。
The Old Stanley Police Station was constructed in 1859 and is now the oldest surviving police station building in the territory. It is one of the earliest police stations in Hong Kong. Since all the other five have been demolished, it is now the oldest and thus commands great heritage significance.
舊赤柱警署建於1859年，係香港最早建成既６間警署之其中一間，而另外五間已經拆卸左，所以呢間舊赤柱警署就好順利成章成為香港歷史最悠久的警隊建築物，歷史價值極高！
This two-storey colonial style building was converted into a supermarket in 2003. Visitors can enjoy a novel experience of shopping in a 155-year-old historical monument.
不過呢座充滿殖民地風采兩層樓高既建築物係2003年已改建為超級市場．．．．
呢間有155年歷史既超級市場實在太有特色，我地班美少女都嘆為觀止！
當然．．．．．．都要幫襯一下既！
The next stop is Stanley
Post Office
Address: 2 Wong Ma Kok Road
下一站 : 赤柱郵政局
地址：黃麻角道2號
If you wish to share the beautiful moment of Southern District with friends overseas, send a scenic post card at the Stanley Post Office.
Do you know that, it is the oldest of the 130 post offices now operating in Hong Kong has no modern décor or spacious interior. Its appeal lies in the unique metal window grills engraved with King George VI's "GR" emblem and the manual brass stamp dispensers on the wall. After the handover, traditional red British post boxes are very hard to find. If you want to see the only extant red cast-iron post box engraved with King George VI's emblem, head for Stanley Post Office.
如果想將香港南區既好風景同遠方既朋友仔分享，不妨到赤柱郵政局寄張明信片。
（可以去市集買定先呀，因為市集果邊好多好靚既postcard揀）
你地又知唔知呢? 係香港130間營運既郵局當中，赤柱郵政局係最古老既一間。
呢度冇現代化既裝修，亦欠缺寬敞既環境，不過有獨一無二既鐵窗花，上面仲刻有英皇佐治六世的標記「GR」，正門牆上更有人手操作既銅製郵票售賣機。
自香港回歸左中國後，傳統英式紅郵箱已所剩無幾啦。
若你仲想一睹香港絕無僅有，印有英皇佐治六世標記的紅色鑄鐵郵箱，就一定要黎赤柱郵政局啦。如果大家鍾意vintage 既野，黎呢度影相真係最好不過！
The next stop Pat Kan Uk
Address: 2 Stanley Street
八間屋
地址：
赤柱大街二號
After you visit
the Stanley Market, you may take a look at Pat Kan Uk, a row of eight houses.
Many people think they are abandoned pre-war buildings but each of them is
still a home to elders. There were eight houses belonging to farming families
in Wong Ma Kok before the Sino-Japanese War. The government recovered the land to
develop barracks and a terrace of eight houses were built here by Stanley Bay
as relocation homes for the residents.
當你行過赤柱市集之後，不妨順道行去附近既「八間屋」睇下！
唔好以為睇呢八間屋咁古老，一定係無人住。
但當你細看之下，原來屋內仍有市民居住。唔知點解我地覺得自己去左好多年前既香港！
講少少背景比大家知啦，係日戰之前，黃麻角原本有八間屋，係八戶農民所有。
不過到後來政府在果度興建軍營，所以就係赤柱灣畔建造返呢八棟相連既屋，用作安置居民。
唔知道住係呢度既居民會唔會覺得好煩躁，因為我地同埋好多遊客都會黎到呢度望下佢地既屋企～～哈哈哈，不過無辦法啦 ，實在太有特色啦！
＊＊＊美少女提提大家去既時候記得唔好太大聲打擾到人啊～～～
The
last station is Murray House
Address:
Stanley Plaza, Stanley
最後一站：赤柱美利樓
地址：赤柱赤柱廣場
Murray
was originally an office building of the British forces stationed in Hong Kong.
First completed in Central back in 1846, it was subsequently used as military
officers' quarters, officers club, government offices and a torture and
interrogation centre.
美利樓 原本係駐港英軍的辦公大樓，於1846年在中環落成。
後來大樓曾被改為軍官宿舍、軍官俱樂部和政府辦事處同埋日軍拷問處！
These
changes stood witness to more than a century's historical vicissitudes in Hong
Kong.
曾經有過咁多唔既用途，就已經係暗示左佢係經過左百多年既歷史變遷。
In 1983, Murray House was demolished to give way
to the new Bank of China Building. More than 3,000 blocks of the building were
stored in Tai Tam for 15 years. Eventually, a permanent home was found here in
Stanley.
1983年被拆卸後，原址改建為中國銀行大廈！
而佢的三千份組件在大潭靜候了十五年，最後終於係赤柱灣畔覓得長居之所。
由中環搬搬搬到黎赤柱，真係經過好多歷史既洗禮～～
Today, Murray House is a landmark of Stanley.
This Victorian architecture by the sea houses restaurants that offer different
cuisines. Sampling international gourmet food in the comfortable sea breeze is
surely a great way to experience Stanley.
如今美利樓已成為赤柱地標，靠山面海的維多利亞式大樓內幾間唔同特色既餐廳比遊客揀，一邊吹着海風，一邊品嚐異國美食。
Also
not to be missed is the Hong Kong Maritime Museum downstairs that showcases
interesting relics and maritime knowledge. Murray House is a must-see to any
visitor to Hong Kong.
仲有啊！餐廳樓下既海事博物館亦展出珍貴既文物比人欣賞！
所以話呢．．．．．來到香港點可以唔黎一黎美利樓呢？
