Shau Kei Wan, Residential district in Eastern District, Hong Kong

Shau Kei Wan extends along Victoria Harbour with residential buildings, markets, and commercial establishments interspersed throughout its urban landscape.

The area transformed from a small fishing village of 1,200 inhabitants in 1841 to a significant urban center through industrialization in the early 20th century.

The Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence and Tam Kung Temple illustrate the maritime heritage and religious traditions of this former fishing community.

The district connects to central Hong Kong through multiple transport options and contains the Shau Kei Wan Wholesale Fish Market for fresh seafood distribution.

Main Street East features numerous local food vendors, traditional shops, and market stalls that maintain the original character of this waterfront neighborhood.
