How it's used
This location is iconic for its historical connection to the boat people who lived on sampans and developed the famous spicy garlic cooking style. While it remains a functional shelter for vessels during typhoons, it is now primarily associated with high-end seafood dining and waterfront leisure. Locals often shorten the name to 避風塘 when the context of the location is already clear.
