Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter

Sam Ka Tsuen Typhoon Shelter, Typhoon shelter in Kwun Tong District, Hong Kong

Sam Ka Tsuen is a typhoon shelter in Kwun Tong District, located along the eastern coast of Kowloon. The natural harbor provides safe anchorage for fishing vessels and leisure boats during severe weather.

In the 19th century the inlet was called Wine Bay, because Lei Yue Mun villagers brewed white rice wine (shaojiu in Hakka) on the site; brewing continued into the 1950s. The British military requisitioned the bay and built Queen's Pier there. After the British left Devil's Peak in 1946, residents began using that pier for ferries to Shau Kei Wan and elsewhere.

The shelter takes its name from the neighbouring Sam Ka Tsuen village. In the 19th century Lei Yue Mun village brewed white rice wine, called shaojiu in Hakka, in the spot now occupied by the shelter, so the bay was known as Wine Bay; brewing continued into the 1950s. Lei Yue Mun Path runs along the shore, and seafood restaurants line Lei Yue Mun Praya Road.

The shelter is easily accessible by public transportation and serves numerous fishing boats and private yachts. Visitors can observe the harbor from the waterfront or join organized harbor tours.

In 2011 the shelter served as the starting point of the revived Victoria Harbour Cross-Harbour Swim. The breakwater's tip holds a leisure area managed by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, beside Sam Ka Tsuen Pier, where ferries run to Sai Wan Ho.
