On Saturday we took a bus south to Stanley, a tourist town on the southeastern peninsula of Hong Kong Island. Also known as Chek Chue, or "bandit's post," the town was once a hideout of Cheung Po Tsai, the infamous nineteenth century Cantonese pirate. These days the piracy is more market-based, and the food is better. Sunday held a trip to Victoria Peak, a landmark that provides the best views of the city and island.
