Stanley's sightseeing attractions include an interesting 18th-century Tin Hau Temple, huddles of charming cottages, palatial country homes on the village slopes, and several old colonial buildings such as the Old Stanley Police Station; one of the oldest surviving police stations in Hong Kong. This landmark was built in 1859, and it has now been converted into a restaurant. The area's pleasant beaches, set in sheltered, sandy coves, are summertime attractions. One of them is a favourite destination for Hong Kong's windsurfers. All year round, the village offers an appetising range of restaurants and snack bars.
