Revitalised Typhoon Shelter Precinct
It is intended to revitalise CWBTS to signify its historical characteristics and
echo with the cultural and historic elements of the area. New life is proposed
to be injected to the typhoon shelter through introduction of charismatic
dining experience on floating restaurants with sampan services to create the
old typhoon shelter ambience. Boardwalks are also proposed along part of
the vertical seawall, as well as the breakwaters so as to create visitor attraction
for enjoying the panoramic harbour view. Another Landscaped Deck is
proposed to connect Victoria Park to the harbourfront.
Cantilevered Viewing Deck
The existing promenade of the typhoon shelter along Victoria Park Road will
be shortly revamped as a quick-win project with enhanced railing, seating and
new harbour steps for a facelift, as well as incorporating water-friendly and
history respecting elements in the design.
