Sunny Bay
Sunny Bay (Chinese: 欣澳; Cantonese Yale: Yān Ou) is a recent incarnation by the Hong Kong Government, which emerged after the plans to build Hong Kong Disneyland Resort on nearby Penny's Bay. This was done so because Yam (陰) in Cantonese means dark (the same word as the Mandarin yin, well known to most English speakers from the expression yin-yang); while Yan (欣) means happy - a significantly more suitable name for the Disneyland rail link. But according to Shuowen Jiezi, Yam (陰) also has a meaning which is "North of the hill and south of water", so the change of the name is opposed by some Chinese language professionals.
Sunny Bay is today also a transport interchange for Discovery Bay residents, being served by bus route DB03R.

Famous quotes containing the words sunny and/or bay:
“It’s like a jumble of huts in a jungle somewhere. I don’t understand how you can live there. It’s really, completely dead. Walk along the street, there’s nothing moving. I’ve lived in small Spanish fishing villages which were literally sunny all day long everyday of the week, but they weren’t as boring as Los Angeles.”
—Truman Capote (1924–1984)
“The very dogs that sullenly bay the moon from farm-yards in these nights excite more heroism in our breasts than all the civil exhortations or war sermons of the age.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
