The location of the pier is taken from map 1985.2 at https://www.hkmaps.hk/viewer.html

Pier near the Tin Hau Temple at Tai Miu Wan (Joss House Bay) [????- ]. Opened in early 1983 (an aerial photo from 1982-10-15 shows the pier under construction)

Serviced Saturdays and Sundays on the Sai Wan Ho < > Tung Lung Chau service.

T-shaped pier at the tip of Wellington Battery. Likely built after decommission of the battery at the end of the 1870s [1875: There are no guns mounted at Wellington Bty.  (WO 78/2362)].

Was likely used for reclamation works in the early 1900s and then demolished.

Before reclamation, this point marks a small wooden pier that appears to have been built to serve the Haven of Hope Sanatorium up the hill*. It was still marked on maps in the 80s.

*any confirmation or denial that this was the reason it was built is appreciated.
