Lei Yue Mun, Strait in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong SAR China
Lei Yue Mun is a narrow strait that forms the eastern gateway to Victoria Harbour, connecting Junk Bay with the main harbor waters. Fishing boats regularly navigate this waterway, while seafood restaurants line both sides of the shore.
The area began as a simple fishing village until workers from Taikoo Dockyard started gathering there in the 1960s. This shift gradually transformed the strait into a recognized dining destination.
The name Lei Yue Mun means "carp gate" and comes from the fishing tradition that has shaped this place for generations. You can still see the fishing boats in the water and taste this heritage in the seafood restaurants that line the waterfront.
The area is well served by ferry connections and can be reached by regular bus routes from nearby districts. Most visitors find it easiest to arrive by water or public transport, as the waterfront is the main point of interest.
Local fishermen supply fresh catches directly to the restaurants without middlemen, ensuring the seafood served is often caught the same day. This direct connection between boat and kitchen gives the dining experience an authentic quality found nowhere else in the city.
