The pier canopy is located along the Cheung Sha Wan promenade, a newly refurbished stretch of waterfront on the west side of the Kowloon Peninsula. The site is a mix of old and new, with the pier situated in between new residential and commercial development to the northwest and the more industrial wholesale food market to the southeast. It is also part of a larger waterfront landscape upgrade. The pier and promenade are connected back to the city fabric through a generous open-air path connecting to the MTR station and a path through the adjacent Townplace West Kowloon’s central courtyard.
