Beach

Repulse Bay Beach

Sandy south-side beach fronted by a famous feng shui dragon-hole tower and a colonial-era restaurant.

This guide to Repulse Bay Beach in Hong Kong explains the square hole cut through the tower behind you, left open under feng shui belief so a mountain dragon could reach the sea. It traces what stood on this site before: the grand Repulse Bay Hotel, host to guests from Ernest Hemingway to Marlon Brando, torn down in 1982. Listen for how the site sat empty for years before the restaurant beside you took its place.
