Hong Kong Photo Gallery - East Coast Boardwalk (eastern section)

The 9km-long Island Eastern Corridor was built in the late 1980s to alleviate traffic congestion on Hong Kong Island, connecting the eastern suburbs quickly with a bridge just offshore from the coast, thus creating a barrier to the public, with waterfront parks now blocked from enjoying sea views.
The government has, in recent years, tried to improve the public's access to the waterfront, with a plan to connect the waterfront promenades on the island's north shore into a 12km continuous route from Shek Tong Tsui to Aldrich Bay in Shau Kei Wan. The East Coast Boardwalk is a bridge deck that utilizes the space underneath the highway overpass to create a new park.
The 2.2km project is split into western and eastern sections. Construction began in late 2021 and the 0.7km western section from Oil Street and the East Coast Park Precinct to Tong Shui Road opened in January 2025, connecting to an existing waterfront park around North Point Ferry Pier. The final 1.1km eastern section to Hoi Yu Street in Quarry Bay opened in late December 2025.

There was a large crowd around the glass observatory deck, which requires visitors to put on protective shoe coverings before entering.
