香港旅遊景點介紹---淺水灣(Repulse Bay)

twintwin

Primarily an upmarket residential area, sun-drenched Repulse Bay has a relaxed resort-like atmosphere. The wide, wave-lapped beach is popular with locals and visitors alike and great for sandy strolls in the early morning when the sun is up and the sunbathers are out in force, or at sunset when all is at peace.

This crescent-shaped stretch of sand is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hong Kong. The beach features a lifeguard clubhouse built in traditional Chinese style. Its ceiling is decorated with magnificent swirling dragons. Towering twin statues of Kwun Yum and Tin Hau, both protectors of fishermen dominate the picturesque gardens that lead down to the beach.

The nearby colonial-style, The Repulse Bay, houses designer shops and award-winning restaurants and resembles the luxury hotel built in 1920 that originally occupied the site. Most of the grounds were redeveloped into luxury apartments more than 20 years ago. Only the original arcade remains.

淺水灣位於香港島南區，英文名源自一艘昔日在灣內駐守以防衛海盜的英國皇家軍艦，是香港著名的旅遊點，也是富裕的高尚住宅區。


淺水灣呈彎月型，海灘綿長、灘床寬闊，且水清沙幼、波平浪靜，是香港最美麗的海灘之一。沐浴在陽光底下的淺水灣，散發着愜意閒適的風情，令人迷醉。當清晨太陽冉冉上升時，是享受沙灘漫步的理想時光，也是曬日族蜂擁出動的時候，您也可選擇於夕陽西下時在沙灘漫步，享受平和寧謐。


天后娘娘及觀世音像

海灘東面的香港拯溺總會，屬中國傳統建築，房頂為盤旋飛舞的巨龍裝潢，花園可通往海灘。沙灘上還建有中國古典色彩濃厚的鎮海樓公園，門前矗立着十多米高的媽祖娘娘及大慈大悲觀世音神像，並有長壽橋等名勝。相傳觀世音本屬男身，後來變成女身，普渡眾生；媽祖娘娘則是漁民的守護神，由於昔日香港以捕魚業為主，所以香港建立了不少供奉媽祖的廟宇。


影灣園（商店及餐館）

近在咫尺的影灣園前身為淺水灣酒店。淺水灣酒店建於1920年，採用殖民時期的建築風格。淺水灣酒店啟用時，由時任總督主持開幕禮，酒店後來成為商賈政要、名流士紳經常進出的高級場所，也是無數小說的場景和電影取景點。二次大戰期間，淺水灣酒店曾成為英軍的據點及醫院。酒店於90年代初拆卸，重建成服務式住宅，設有高級商店及露台餐廳，亦即現在的影灣園。雖然建築規模擴大不少，但商店及餐廳部分於改建後，仍保留酒店原來的面貌，洋溢着濃厚的殖民色彩。
