Ma Wan
Characteristic
Ma Wan is a small island west of Tsing Yi Island and south of Sham Tseng. The life as a fishing village here has been displaced ever since the building of the Ma Wan Viaduct, which forms part of the Lantau Link. A large private housing estate was built in the northeastern part of the island. The Government has planned to build a theme park in the south of the island, as one of the tourist attractions along the Tsing Yi, Ma Wan and North Lantau Tourist Corridor. Though Ma Wan is very much urbanised now, there is still a sea fish farm near the western bank of the island.
