Hong Kong’s Stanley, once packed with tourists, is now dead. What happened?

With summer’s heat dissipating in Hong Kong, I decided to do a country walk last weekend and ended up in Stanley, a coastal neighbourhood in the south of Hong Kong Island. What we found there shocked us. It had been a few years since I visited the area, mostly because it was always packed with tourists.

“You can tell in about 30 seconds whether a bar was designed by someone who’s worked a busy shift or by someone who drew a nice picture,” says Nikita Matveev. Ask mixologists what they notice when they walk into a bar, and they won’t mention the menu or the mood board.
