How it's used
Refers to a port specifically dedicated to the fishing industry rather than a commercial container terminal. It often carries a nostalgic tone, as many of these sites in Hong Kong have been redeveloped into tourist spots or residential areas. It is frequently used when discussing the historical development of the city from a small fishing village.
