Lei Yue Mun: Seafood Village and Century-Old Settlements

Lei Yue Mun sits in the southeast of Kwun Tong, and its name also refers to the channel that forms Hong Kong's eastern sea gateway. Four villages here are over a century old; villagers once farmed, fished and quarried stone, and from the 1960s seafood restaurants turned the area into a well-known seafood dining spot.

At Lei Yue Mun Seafood Village you can pick seafood at the stalls and bring it to a restaurant for cooking, suiting different budgets. Afterwards, walk along the waterfront to Lei Yue Mun Lighthouse and Lei Yue Mun Tin Hau Temple for harbour views. The temple was built in 1753 and was rated a Grade III historic building in 2010; two old cannons sit under the boulder in front.

Before setting off, check transport on HKeMobility and the latest opening arrangements.

Editor’s noteFor seafood plus a heritage stroll, Lei Yue Mun fits both in one trip; check transport and opening information before you go.
