Sha Lo Wan

Sha Lo Wan

Sha Lo Wan (Chinese: 沙螺灣) is a bay in the northwest Lantau Island, Hong Kong. The bay faces north to Hong Kong International Airport. The area is occupied by indigenous inhabitants. There is no road access to area and thus their communication is on foot or by ferry. Because of its inconvenience to urban area, villages in the area are suffered from depopulation. Only old generation lives in these villages.

The bay is a preserved tropical natural environment. Thick and high trunks of trees can be found in the area. The bay is situated on the trail from Tai O and Tung Chung.
