Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter: A Working Harbour and Festival Gathering Spot

Aberdeen Typhoon Shelter sits in Southern District and has long served as one of the harbours where fishermen take shelter. When storms approach, boats of all sizes gather here, and they also come together around Lunar New Year and traditional festivals such as Tin Hau's birthday. Dragon boat races are held here each year at the fifth day of the fifth lunar month.

When planning a trip, you can use the Transport Department's HKeMobility website or app, entering "Aberdeen Promenade Public Landing Steps" as the destination to search routes. Before setting out, it is worth checking the latest opening arrangements with the relevant authorities or organisations.

Reports about expanding the shelter and developing yacht tourism are planning news without a confirmed timetable, so they should not be treated as current conditions.

Editor’s noteTo take in the harbour atmosphere and festival mood, watch for Tin Hau's birthday and the Dragon Boat Festival races. For transport, search HKeMobility with Aberdeen Promenade Public Landing Steps as the destination, and check opening arrangements before you go.
