The Murray House
After getting to Stanley Plaza, wheelchair users can get to 1st floor by taking the elevator at the plaza, then get to the amphitheatre playground by taking another elevator at the other end. The classical architecture next to the plaza is Murray House. Visitors can access to other floors through the ramp behind Murray House and take the elevator.
Imitated Greek stone pillars and Chinese ceramic roofs make Murray House a typical architecture that blends oriental and western elements. The 3-storey granite building was originally located at Central. The government dismantles the buildings in 1982 into 3,000 granite parts and resembled it in Stanley in 1998. Visitors love to take pictures at this classical-style building. Within Murray House there are a number of restaurants that offer exotic cuisines, allowing visitors to enjoy a nice meal with the magnificent sea view.

Stanley Plaza
Located near the bus station, is often the origin and destination of the tour. The plaza is right next to the seaside and it has such a remarkable sea view.

Blake Pier
Blake Pier is originally housed in Central, it is now at the side of Murray House. The pier was built in 1900, and its triangular steel roof- a state of the art at that time- was imported from the UK in 1909. The pier had been used for welcoming honoured guests. Although it was put to pieces in 1965, its steel roof made its twisted way to the place it is today in 2006, and a new pier called Stanley Blake Pier was built based on the original Blake Pier.
The Stanley Waterfront Promenade
After leaving Murray House, move along Stanley Main Street and you will arrive the Waterfront Promenade. Stretching 380 meters and covering 1.4 hectares of space, the promenade is designed with the concept of an oasis in town. It is built with wooden bars, wooden chairs and gardens.
