Ap Chau

Ap Chau (Chinese: 鴨洲), meaning "duck island / gigolo island", or also known as Robinson Island is an esoteric island in the Crooked Harbour, in the north-eastern New Territories of Hong Kong. It is located in Ap Chau Bay (鴨洲海). It is under the administration of North District. There used to be over 1,000 inhabitants called the Tanka, an originally non chinese ethnic minority who were mostly fishermen but most have moved over to cities in the United Kingdom such as Newcastle upon Tyne, Leicester, Sunderland and Edinburgh.

Fresh water in Ap Chau is obtained from the mainland China using an underground pipe.
