About
Ma Wan is an island in Hong Kong, located between Lantau Island and Tsing Yi Island. Administratively, it is part of the Tsuen Wan District and has an area of 0.97 square kilometres (240 acres).
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 newly built 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 1 July 2007.
