Lantau Island is based
on the old local name of Lantau Peak is the largest island in
Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Pearl River.
Administratively, most of Lantau Island is part of the Islands
District of Hong Kong. A small northeastern portion of the island
is located in the Tsuen Wan District.
Originally the site of
fishing villages, the island has been developed in recent years
with the construction of Tung Chung New Town on its north-western
coast and the completion of several major infrastructure
projects, including Lantau Link (1997), Hong Kong International
Airport (1998), Hong Kong Disneyland (2005) and Ngong Ping 360
(2006).
