SINGAPORE
INTERNATIONAL
SCHOOL
This prestigious school for kindergarten, primary and secondary students comprises two campuses nestled at the foot of verdant Nam Long Shan, also known as Brick Hill. It is within easy reach of both Aberdeen and Wong Chuk Hang, and is also a stone’s throw away from the South Island Line of the MTR that provides a quick link between the Southside and downtown Hong Kong. Here, more than 1,500 students, who represent 20 different nationalities, enjoy a peaceful and scenic setting for learning, while city life remains close at hand.
 MURRAY HOUSE
A saunter through Victorian-era Murray House serves as a lesson in Hong Kong history and heritage conservation. It takes pride of place on the Stanley waterfront today, but when it was originally built in the 1840s as a barracks for British military officers, it sat in the Central district overlooking Victoria Harbour. In 1982, Murray House was dismantled brick by brick to make way for the Bank of China Tower, with every piece labelled and kept in storage until the building could be reconstructed in Stanley in 2001. While exploring this architectural wonder, you can pay a visit to King Ludwig Beerhall on the second floor to enjoy authentic German beers, cuisine and ambience.
