Following a large #typhoon in 1874 a typhoon shelter was build in Causeway Bay on #Hongkong Island to protect fishers and their families during storms. Today the shelter houses not only #fisher boats, but also yachts, houseboats, and others. Following steady expansion the original Causeway Bay typhoon shelter was replaced and the shelter was moved up north to its current location. On the site of the original shelter the government undertook land reclamation and built Victoria Park.
Recently, as part of efforts to make Hong Kong Island's coastline more walkable and accessible to people in the city, new promenade parks have been opened in North Point and Causeway Bay, allowing easy strolls past the shelter.
