 Located
on
the
Kowloon
side
of
the
narrow
eastern
entrance
to
Hong
Kong
Harbour,
the
small
fishing
village
at
Lei
Yue
Mun
first
came
into
prominence
in
the
1960s,
when
it
became
fashionable
to
go
there
for
its
seafood.
At
that
time,
most
diners
would
select
their
own
live
seafood
from
the
fish
market,
and
then
take
it
to a
restaurant
for
cooking.
Many
still
do,
but
with
many
more
restaurants
now
in
business,
you
can
make
your
selection
closer
to
your
table. |
|
|
|
Lei
Yue
Mun
launched
a
Seafood
Festival
in
1992,
and
so
successful
was
it
in
promoting
business
that
it
has
since
become
an
annual
happening.
During
the
Festival
the
narrow
streets
reverberate
to
the
drums,
gongs
and
songs
of
Cantonese
opera
performers,
while
lion
dances
add
a
touch
of
frenzied
excitement
to
the
occasion. |
|
|
|
Restaurants
arrange
attractive
promotions
and
offer
special
dishes
to
keep
their
tables
busy,
and
local
and
visiting
gourmets
converge
on
the
area
to
dine
on
superb
seafood
dishes
washed
down
with
wines,
liquors
or
copious
draughts
of
beer. |
|
|
|
But
whether
or
not
it's
Seafood
Festival
time,
splendid
fresh
seafood
hot
from
the
pot
or
wok
is
always
available
from
Lei
Yue
Mun's
specialty
restaurants.
Besides
enjoying
a
glorious
meal,
visitors
can
also
inspect
a
couple
of
nearby
sites
of
moderate
interest.
One
is a
very
unpretentious
lighthouse
to
warn
approaching
ships
away
from
the
rocks
on
which
it
stands.
The
other
is a
Tin
Hau
Temple
set
by
some
large
rocks
bearing
bold
Chinese
inscriptions. |
