sophia's picture of historical place


Repulse Bay beach


 my pics history:
In 1849 the British repulsed the pirates here and that is why it is now called repulse bay (In Chinese tsin-shui wan which means shallow water bay). This is also one of the places where Japan invaded Hong Kong during WWII.  They arrived here December 21 1941 and the Japanese change the bays name to the Green Sea Side beach. The place where I am standing is where the heads that the pirates chopped off would float.
