Islands District
Tung Chung．Island
The Islands District is the largest of Hong Kong’s 18 districts, covering a total area of approximately 178 square kilometers—about 16% of the territory’s total area—and encompassing more than 20 islands, including Lantau Island, Tai O, Lamma Island, Cheung Chau, and Peng Chau. In 1989, the government launched the “Rose Garden Plan,” formally initiating modern development in areas such as Tung Chung, Tai Ho Wan, and Siu Ho Wan, marking a significant milestone in the Islands District’s gradual transformation from a traditional fishing village into a new town. Furthermore, the Islands District serves as a vital transportation hub for Hong Kong, hosting strategic infrastructure projects such as Hong Kong International Airport, the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge, and the Tuen Mun–Chek Lap Kok Link. Currently, the planning priorities for the Islands District focus on promoting the development of eco-tourism and recreational facilities, such as the construction of the “South Lantau Eco-Recreation Corridor” and the transformation of the former Lamma Island quarry site into a leisure and resort project. North Lantau will see further development of tourism and recreational facilities, leveraging the transportation advantages provided by the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge to promote economic synergy within the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
