gǎng

harbor

Hong Kong (abbr. for 香港[Xiang1 gang3]); surname Gang; port; CL:個|个[ge4]

water (氵) + alley (巷) = harbor or port

The water radical anchors the meaning: a harbor is where water meets land as a sheltered passage. 巷 mainly contributes the gǎng sound rather than its usual meaning of alley.
