 Even
though Hong Kong is no longer primarily a fishing port like it was a hundred years
ago, there are still fishermen and fishing boats based in Hong Kong. There are
a few places where they have traditionally berthed. Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter
is one of them. At times one can actually see fishermen working on their fishing
nets. (Straddling between the Sai Wan Ho and Shau Kei Wan MTR stations, the typhoon
shelter is just a short walk from the former.)
 The
Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter is also where one can catch a scheduled ferry to
go to some islands nearby. It is also one of the locations of dragon boat races
- which take place at Dragon
Boat Festival (there are also special races at other times).
