(click on image to enlarge)One of the world's most idyllic voyages is the inter-island ferry from a little island in the South China Sea to the village of Mui Wo, Lantau Island.
Nestling in Silvermine Bay, Mui Wo village was in terminal economic decline from the 1960s, but the fabric of the waterfront and beach were spiced up in the mid-1980s. In discussion since at least year 2000, Hong Kong Planning Department has finally now released "Facelift of Mui Wo".
Brothers and sisters, the proposed plans rectify some of the mistakes made in the mid-1980s as well as suggest other changes so as to create a space and place even more interesting and pleasingly aesthetic. To see what is proposed for the "facelift": concept notes (pdf)
The full map -- of which the above is but a detail -- is available in better quality here: Map 3 (pdf).
Other maps are Map 1 (pdf) and Map 2 (pdf).
For Mui Wo residents, there is a public forum at Assembly Hall, New Territories Heung Yee Kuk Southern District Secondary School, 18 Mui Wo Ferry Pier Road, Mui Wo, Lantau Island. When? Saturday, 18th November 2006, 2:15pm - 5:30pm.
