La Mer - Tung Chung

Tung Chung District Information

Originally a major defence stronghold against pirates and invading navies, it boasts an old fort, complete with cannons, and several temples. Primarily a fishing village, Tung Chung is now a metropolis of high-rise buildings and shopping malls. Since the airport re-location was announced, many large high-rise developments have proliferated here, together with a small number of new houses and an increasing number of local, village houses at the periphery. Rents are generally more reasonable than on Hong Kong Island, and it is a convenient location for frequent travellers.
