High-rise condominiums on Repulse BaySource: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Repulse_Bay_apartments.jpg

Repulse Bay 淺水灣 is a bay on the southern part of Hong Kong Island, between Deep Water Bay to the west and South Bay to the east. Between Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay is an islet called Middle Island.
Repulse Bay is said to have been named after pirates hiding out in the bay were successfully repulsed from the area by the British.
As with many formerly quiet areas of Hong Kong Island, Repulse Bay has of late seen the development of upscale properties in the form of high-rise condominiums taking advantage of the superb view in the area. The scenic views of Repulse Bay come with price tags to match - some has reached as high as HK$20,000 per square foot.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
