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.
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
