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.
Kwai Chung is an urban area within Tsuen Wan New Town in the New Territories of Hong Kong. Together with Tsing Yi Island,it is part of the Kwai Tsing District District of Hong Kong. It is also part of Tsuen Wan New Town.
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour in Hong Kong separating Hong Kong Island in the south from the Kowloon Peninsula to the north. The harbour's deep,sheltered waters and strategic location on South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony in 1841 and its subsequent development as a trading centre.
Nga Ying Chau,or Cap Island,was an island off the northeast shore of Tsing Yi Island of Hong Kong,separated by a small harbour,Mun Tsai Tong,with Tsuen Wan at its northeast,just across the Rambler Channel. When the small harbour was reclaimed for the development of a new town,the island became part of Tsing Yi Island. The island was once home to the CRC Oil Storage Depot,which later relocated to the other side of Tsing Yi Island owing to its proximity to the residential area. The former island is now a small hill on the northeast point of Tsing Yi Island,and Villa Esplanada,a private housing estate,stands on the hills.
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.
Tsing Yi Pier or Tsing Yi Ferry Terminus (青衣渡輪碼頭) was a ferry pier on Tsing Yi Island,Hong Kong. It replaced Tsing Yi Town old pier that was buried during land reclamation. There were ferries to Tsuen Wan and Central. The service ceased to exist and the pier freed for public use thereafter.
Tsing Leng Tsui is a former cape on Tsing Yi Island,Hong Kong between the former Tsing Yi Bay and the Rambler Channel. After several phases of reclamation,the cape lost its shape and became the location of the Hong Kong Cement Plant belonging to Hong Kong Cement Manufacturing Company Limited. The area changed to a promenade and the Grand Horizon residential estate after the plant was relocated to Ngau Kok Wan,northwest of the island,owing to environmental concerns voiced by residents of neighbouring Greenfield Garden.
Ngau Kok Wan was a bay on the north coast of Tsing Yi Island,Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Cement Plant of the Hong Kong Cement Manufacturing Company Limited at Tsing Leng Tsui is now located in the reclaimed bay. Tsing Yi North Coastal Road and the Ting Kau Bridge join above the location. It houses several DNS servers.
The generic forms of Hong Kong place names are mainly Cantonese,Hakka and British English,although other languages also contribute to Hong Kong place names.
Tsing Yi Police Station,once also known as Tsing Yi Division Police Station (青衣分區警署) is the only police station on Tsing Yi Island in Hong Kong. The station is located at Tsing Yi Heung Sze Wui Road,between Tsing Yi Police Married Quarters and Tsing Yi Fire Station,below Chung Mei Tsuen of Ha Ko Tan. Its front faces Greenfield Garden,a private housing estate.
