context_page_description: Mui Wo is a rural town on the eastern coast of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The 2011 Census recorded 5,485 people living in Mui Wo and its environs.
  Mui Wo is located on Silvermine Bay, so named for the silver mines that were once worked along the Silver River which flows through the village. The main beach in Mui Wo is known as Silver Mine Bay Beach. The town is known for the feral water buffalos and cows that roam the area.
  Prior to the Airport Core Programme and the subsequent development of Tung Chung and North Lantau into a new town, Mui Wo was the principal point for day-trippers setting out to explore Lantau Island. Today, it is still the principal way of reaching South Lantau – from the beaches in Cheung Sha to the fishing village of Tai O and the Tian Tan Buddha. With the opening of Ngong Ping 360 and the new, smoother Tung Chung Road, this may change.
