-------------------------------
Tseung Kwan O New Town is one of the nine new towns in Hong Kong, mainly built on reclaimed land in the northern half of the Tseung Kwan O, after which it is named.
Although lying within Sai Kung District in the southeastern New Territories, the new town is often incorrectly regarded as part of Kowloon due to its close proximity to the city. The total development area of Tseung Kwan O, including its industrial estate, is about 10.05 kmē.
History and urban development
The Hong Kong Government had been interested in developing a new town at Hang Hau because of its proximity to the urban area. The project was postponed for a long time owing to the extensive scale of reclamation in the bay, which is rather deep. It finally started under the name of Tseung Kwan O.
The New Town was developed in three phases. The first phase encompassing Northern Tseung Kwan O, which includes Po Lam MTR Station and Hang Hau MTR Station, while the second and third phase encompassing Southern Tseung Kwan O, which includes Tseung Kwan O Station (Town Centre) and Tiu Keng Leng Station.
Phase I - Hang Hau, Po Lam, Siu Chik Sha, Tsui Lam
Phase II - Town Centre North
Phase III - Town Centre South, Pak Shing Kok, Tiu Keng Leng, Tai Chik Sha
The planning of the new town has been centred along the MTR-corridor, with more than 80% of the population living within 5 minutes of a MTR station, with huge residential complexes surrouding the MTR stations. As most of the residential complexes surrounds the MTR station, there are huge parks in the rest of Tseung Kwan O New Town.
According to statistics from the 2001 Census, the population of Tseung Kwan O New Town is around 290,095.
As Tseung Kwan O is not considered a formal entity in the census, the above population figure takes into account residents of the following breakdown figures in Sai Kung District which comprise Tseung Kwan O New Town: Hang Hau, Sheung Tak, Tsui Lam, Hong King, Po Lam, Yan Ying, Wan Hang, King Lam, Hau Tak, Fu Yu, Tung Ming, On Hong, and Kwon Ming.
The other three census areas in Sai Kung District - namely Sai Kung Central, Pak Sha Wan, and Sai Kung Islands - are not within the new town.
Tseung Kwan O has several major shopping complexes:
The largest shopping centre is Metro City located by Po Lam MTR Station. Metro City is divided into three phases and contains most of Hong Kong's major chains such as Park'n Shop (supermarket) and Fortress (electronics) in addition to a selection of restaurants ranging from Maxim's Chinese Restaurant to McDonald's and everything in between.
Hang Hau MTR Station is surrounded by an extensive network of mid-sized shopping arcades linked by footbridges. The mainstay of this multifarious complex is the Jusco department store at East Point City .
Tseung Kwan O Town Centre (Tseung Kwan O MTR Station)is home to Park Central and Tseung Kwan O Plaza. Both complexes are very new and relatively underdeveloped with little more than a handful of restaurants and small shops.
