Hong Kong Drone Gallery - Ma Wan 1868

Ma Wan was once a quiet island just off Lantau where fishing was the main deal. That all changed when the new airport was built and as part of the transport infrastructure to serve it, a huge suspension bridge crossed here.

Hundreds of villagers were resettled out of their original homes in 1997 to make way for a private developer to build a tourism and cultural facility. That plan stalled for over 20 years but finally opened in March 2025, turning the former village buildings into a Disneyland-like theme park with a new coat of colourful paint.

On one other side of the island is a new private housing estate of highrises with its own beach and lovely sea views. The fishing village residents now live in shorter houses nearby.

There is another theme park on this island. Noah's Ark opened in 2009 and showcases the Biblical story with a replica of the ark.
