This makes Repulse Bay popular with both families and travelers looking to relax by the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along the beach runs a boardwalk with seating areas and viewpoints. At the edge of the bay you will find restaurants and cafes where you can go for lunch or a drink overlooking the sea. The surrounding area is also worth seeing. The green hills surrounding Repulse Bay create an almost tropical atmosphere and are a nice contrast to the city that you leave behind for a while here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A notable feature at Repulse Bay is the Tin Hau temple, with statues and temples referring to traditional Chinese gods.
