Siu Ho Wan

Siu Ho Wan (zh-t|t=小蠔灣, lit. "small oyster bay") is a bay on the north shore of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The bay is largely reclaimed for the bus depots. The Airport Express, Tung Chung Line of MTR and North Lantau Highway run across the reclamation of the bay. The Siu Ho Wan MTR depot lays on the reclaimed shore between Siu Ho Wan and Tai Ho Wan and is currently used by Airport Express, Tung Chung Line and Disneyland Resort Line.

History

In the 1990s, the Hong Kong Government reclaimed the bay in order to construct links to the new airport at Chek Lap Kok and the new town of Tung Chung, including the North Lantau Highway, Airport Express and Tung Chung Line. The government also built a depot there for the MTR lines. The highway was completed in 1997, and the MTR lines in 1998 (in time for the opening of the new airport).

Soon after that, the government constructed a new tunnel link from Siu Ho Wan to Discovery Bay, which was opened in 2000 and known as the Discovery Bay Tunnel.
