Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter


Sender: Hu Kun

Text on card: Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter. This island eastern corridor leads Wanchai and Central. The new extension to the Convention and Exhibition Centre is in the right centre. 

I read that decades ago, there were thousands of people living on boats in the typhoon shelter having their own distinct subculture. Today it has dwindled and little remains of the boat dweller's traditional way of life. Now there are many anchored luxury yachts and restaurants serving "typhoon shelter cuisine". Ahh, modernisation and the changes it brings....
