It extended from East Point Hill, i.e. Lee Garden towards Kellett Island and marked the eastern limits of the early City of Victoria.

The piece of land separated Causeway Bay in the east and Wong Nai Chung [yue] in the west.

Streams and muds from Tai Hang and Wong Nai Chung (now buried beneath Canal Road as a subterranean river) shaped the spit.

For the construction of Cross-Harbour Tunnel, further reclamation extended the land to Kellett Island and the cape was completely buried.

Physically, the Causeway Bay station of the MTR and World Trade Centre are built on the body of East Point.

It includes the 13-storey Japanese-style department store Sogo, as well as shopping centres such as Times Square and Hysan Place.

For years, Jardine Matheson has fired a shot off the Noonday Gun at noon every day at East Point, by Victoria Harbour, slightly eastward of the former Kellett Island.
