Looking west from Stanley Main Street, there are beautiful sea views, while to the east, there is a row of no more than six-story tong lau (Chinese tenement buildings) along the roadside, featuring bars, Western restaurants, and small shops selling souvenirs. The area nearby is a tourist hotspot, especially the section along the waterfront, which becomes a pedestrian street on holidays. With its numerous bars, it is also known as a bar street. In 2006, the Hong Kong government's Architectural Services Department redeveloped Stanley Main Street, adding a new section of promenade along the shore of Stanley Bay, which was completed in early 2007.
