                                                            CAUSEWAY BAY - TYPHOON SHELTER

There is still a typhoon shelter in Causeway Bay, - 2022 - ,but the sight and life you could enjoy there in the seventies has long gone.

There are still boats in the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, but not so many, - and by far the most of them are modern pleasure boats, and the many, many boats, that formed a floating city of the Tanka boat people are long gone.

But here is what it was like in the seventies - - - -

Here a view over the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter, where a large assembly of junks used to be permanently moored.

Of course this common sight from the seventies are long gone and the "Boat People" are settled ashore -

Across the Victoria Harbour you can see the buildings of the Tsimshatsui water front on the Kowloon peninsula.

Photographed on Nov. 2. 1977.
