Ma Wan (Chinese: 馬灣) is an island of Hong Kong, located between Lantau Island and Tsing Yi Island, with an area of 0.97 km². Administratively, it is part of Tsuen Wan District.
The Lantau Link that passes through Ma Wan was constructed in the mid-1990s as part of the Hong Kong Government's Rose Garden plan to connect the new Hong Kong International Airport to the city centre. Its development fostered plans to develop the island. Today, a large part of Ma Wan is occupied by the Park Island apartment complex. A theme park, named Ma Wan Park was built to accompany the housing project, with its first phase opened on July 1, 2007.
Famous quotes containing the word wan:
“With how sad steps, O Moon, thou climb’st the skies;
How silently, and with how wan a face.”
—Sir Philip Sidney (1554–1586)
