Lantau island Community

Lantau Island, also Lantao, based on the old local name of Lantau Peak (Traditional Chinese: 爛頭; lit. Ragged Head), is the largest island in Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Pearl River. Administratively, it is part of the Islands District, but a small part in the northeast of the island belongs to Tsuen Wan District. It has an area of 146.38 km². Originally the site of sleepy fishing villages, the island has in recent years been transformed with the development of several major infrastructure projects, including Hong Kong\'s new international airport and Hong Kong Disneyland.
