Tsing Yi,sometimes referred to as Tsing Yi Island,is an island in the urban area of Hong Kong,to the northwest of Hong Kong Island and south of Tsuen Wan. With an area of 10.69 km2 (4.13 sq mi),the island has extended drastically by reclamation along almost all its natural shore and the annexation of Nga Ying Chau (牙鷹洲) and Chau Tsai. Three major bays or harbours,Tsing Yi Lagoon,Mun Tsai Tong and Tsing Yi Bay (青衣灣) in the northeast,have been completely reclaimed for new towns.

Tsing Kwai Highway is a section of Route 3 in Hong Kong,previously known as Route 3 - Kwai Chung Section. From its junction with West Kowloon Highway at Mei Foo Roundabout,the expressway runs in the form of a three-kilometre dual-four-lane viaduct atop Kwai Chung Road and Kwai Tai Road,circumscribing the container terminals to reach the Rambler Channel.

Tsing Yi Lagoon,or Tsing Yi Tong,was a lagoon on the east shore of Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong. Its water came from a stream in the nearby valley of Liu To and its outlet was at Tsing Yi Bay. It acted as the shelter for nearby boat people,especially after large-scale land reclamation in Tsuen Wan and Kwai Chung. Once their boats moved into the lagoon,they never moved out. This was because their boats were too old for fishing far away. The lagoon was unable to escape the fate of development. Both the lagoon and the neighbouring Tsing Yi Bay,were reclaimed for new towns. The boat people were forced to give up their boats and were relocated to public housing estate on the island. After reclamation,the northern portion became Tsing Yi Estate and the remainder became temporary housing areas,which were later demolished.
