Shaukeiwan Typhoon Shelter, Typhoon shelter in Shau Kei Wan, Hong Kong

Shaukeiwan Typhoon Shelter is a protected harbor in Eastern District designed to safeguard vessels during severe storms and cyclones. Concrete barriers and breakwaters create a sheltered zone where multiple boats can take refuge at the same time.

Shau Kei Wan began as a bay whose circular coastline resembled a winnowing basket, giving the area its name. In the mid-18th century fishermen found the bay a safe anchorage and began mooring their boats there, and it grew into the largest fishing village on the north shore of Hong Kong Island. From the mid-20th century the government cleared squatter huts and reclaimed land, replacing the old waterfront with housing and modern facilities.

The shelter serves as a working hub for the local fishing community, with traditional boats and newer vessels sharing the same waters. Fish-related activities along the shore show how deeply this place remains connected to the area's maritime traditions.

The shelter has two entrances: the eastern one beside the Shau Kei Wan Fish Market, the western one by the Marine Police Headquarters at the Sai Wan Ho waterfront near Grand Promenade. Ferries from the typhoon shelter pier run to Tseung Kwan O (South) and Tung Lung Island. The waterfront promenade at Aldrich Bay Park hosts the dragon boat races each October.

The shelter has two entrances: the eastern one lies near the Shau Kei Wan Fish Market, the western one by the Marine Police Headquarters and Marine Police Port Division Base at the Sai Wan Ho waterfront. A level-three fire broke out here on 27 September 2015, and another fire occurred on 10 October 2016.
