Shau Kei Wan (筲箕灣) or Shaukiwan is a neighborhood in the Eastern District of Hong Kong Island. The area is bordered by Chai Wan to the east, Mount Parker to the south, Sai Wan Ho to the west, and Victoria Harbour to the north.

Shau Kei Wan Main Street East (筲箕灣東大街) is one of the most important streets in Shau Kei Wan district. In the 19th century, the street was on the waterfront. In 1860s, to crack down the pirates hiding in the area, the Hong Kong government decided to open up the area and to build houses and stores on the two sides of the road.

Today, restaurants and groceries handed down from the past still operate along the street while the old houses have been replaced by modern high-rises. It becomes a popular dining place with a myriad of well-known international restaurants and street food stores.

When the street was widened the hundred-year-old fig tree in the middle of the street was preserved on the request of the community. The botanical name of this old fig is Ficus superba.
