Nga Ying Chau - Definition and Overview

Nga Ying Chau (牙鷹洲), or Cap Island, was a island off the northeast shore of Tsing Yi Island of Hong Kong, seperated by a small harbour, Mun Tsai Tong (門仔塘), and Tsuen Wan is at its northeast, just across the Rambler Channel. When the small harbour was reclaimed for the development of new town, the island became part of Tsing Yi Island. The island once had oil storage depot of CRC Oil which relocated to another side of Tsing Yi Island owning to proximity to residential area. The former island is now a small hill on the northeast point of Tsing Yi Island, and Villa Esplanada, a private hosuing estate, stands on the hills.
