- Hang Hau
Hang Hau (zh-c|c=坑口) is a residential area in
Hong Kong . It is located at the eastern edge of theTseung Kwan O New Town .In days gone by, Hang Hau was on the sea front, facing
Junk Bay . Many of the place names in Hang Hau reflect this -Shui Bin Tsuen means "Waterside Village", for example. Now, about ⅔ of Hang Hau is on reclaimed land, and the sea is far away.For a time between the 1960s and 1980s, Hang Hau was a large ship demolishing base.
Long before developing of Tseung Kwan O New Town, there was an earlier proposal to build
Hang Hau New Town .Fact|date=August 2007 It was considered because it is near the urban area, but it was put aside owning to the high cost in reclamation of deep Junk Bay.Condominium complexes include
Residence Oasis ,La Cité Noble ,East Point City ,Nan Fung Plaza , andOn Ning Garden . Residence Oasis is the newest building complex and is connected to theMTR Hang Hau Station . The colour of the line in the MTR station is purple, representing the Tseung Kwan O Line.
