Blake Pier at Stanley, pier in Hong Kong
Blake Pier at Stanley is a public landing pier on the north shore of Stanley Bay, beside Stanley Plaza on Hong Kong Island's south coast. A long rectangular deck on dark, closely spaced piles carries a covered walkway with a pale, shallow-pitched metal roof and a row of slender dark columns along the water side. A lower platform sits at one end.
The pier is named after Sir Henry Arthur Blake, the twelfth Governor of Hong Kong. Its cast-iron roof was first built in 1920 at Blake Pier in Central, moved to Morse Park in 1965, and stored in Guangdong for rust removal in 2006. It was reassembled at Stanley and reopened on 27 July 2007.
The pier sits next to Stanley Market, and many visitors walk between the two as part of a single outing along the waterfront. On weekends, the area draws locals who come to sit by the water and watch the boats pass.
The pier is at the end of Stanley's main street and easy to reach on foot from the market area. Going early in the morning or on a weekday keeps the waterfront less crowded and gives a clearer view of the bay.
The roof over the pier is not a replica: it was built in 1920 for the first Blake Pier in Central, moved to Morse Park in 1965, and stored in Guangdong for rust removal before being reassembled at Stanley in 2007. The structure was digitally recorded using 3D laser scanning.
