Tsuen Wan New Town

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tsuen Wan New Town (Traditional Chinese: 荃灣新市鎮) is a new town in Hong Kong. It spans over Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi Island. Traditionally, the officials of Tsuen Wan managed the area of proper Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Tsing Yi Island, Ma Wan and Northeast Lantau Island.

In 1982 the Tsuen Wan District formed under District Administration Scheme. In 1985, with the explosion of population in the new town, the district spun off Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi to form a new Kwai Tsing District. Thus, the new town is now under two administrative districts.

Its total development area is about 24 km². The population of the new town is approximately 767,000 and is expected to rise to about 829,000 by 2011.

Although Tsuen Wan New Town belongs to New Territories, it is also considered to be a part of Hong Kong urban area, like Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It is because the town was early developed and is not blocked by hills or mountains with the distace to Kowloon geographically. Also, there are no New Territories taxis providing service in Tsuen Wan New Town except at Tsuen Wan MTR Station and Tsing Yi MTR Station, unlike other new towns in New Territories.
