HONG KONG - Causeway bay Typhoon Shelter

Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter is a typhoon shelter located in Causeway Bay in Hong Kong. The original typhoon shelter was built after the 1874 typhoon, at the present location of Victoria Park, to provide shelter for fishing boats during storms. The 1874 Hong Kong Typhoon was the third-worst typhoon to ever hit Hong Kong. On 18 September 1906, a typhoon struck Hong Kong, destroying 3,653 boats and killing 15,000 people, most of them fishermen. In 2022, the section of harbourfront alongside the shelter, roughly aligning with Victoria Park, was redeveloped and expanded, as part of the overall development of Victoria Harbour waterfront.
