Hong Kong - Stanley Market & Shek O paragliding

First stop on our Hong Kong tour was to Stanley Market which is a very popular market on the south side of the island. You can buy lots of souvenirs and trinkets for a good price at the market but I found it very similar to Chinatown in Singapore so didn't want to spend too much time there. Instead Kingsley and I had a great bfast on the Stanley Promenade overlooking the ocean.


We then headed about 15 min southeast to a little town called Shek O where there is a paragliding site off a mountain called dragons back. Kingsley brought his gear with the hopes of flying since the weather was perfect but there was no one around, probably because it was a thursday and everyone was at work. Even so, we decided to check out the LZ which is a tiny patch of beachfront in-between a golf course and a bunch of homes. After a though-rough investigation Kingsley deemed the site an excellent location to fly! So we made plans to return over the weekend to see if we could meet up with some other pilots. Sadly the weather on the weekend was not good for flying so Kingsley was pretty disappointed. But on the bright side that means we will have to go back to Hong Kong soon!

Behind Kingsley is Dragons back mountain where they paraglide, Kingsley is standing in the LZ a small stretch of beach between a golf course and a fishing village.
