context_page_description: Tung Chung, meaning "eastern stream", is an area on the northwestern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. One of the most recent new towns, it was formerly a rural fishing village beside Tung Chung Bay, and along the delta and lower courses of Tung Chung River and Ma Wan Chung in the north-western coast of Lantau Island. The area was once an important defence stronghold against pirates and foreign military during the Ming and the Qing dynasties.
  Developed as part of the Airport Core Programme, the North Lantau New Town is the first new town on an outlying island of Hong Kong, with the first phases built on reclaimed land to the north, east and northeast of the original Tung Chung Town. Administratively, Tung Chung is part of Islands District.
context_section_description: In a move to encourage green transport biking tracks are available throughout the town, and most of the private estate provides full clubhouse facilities for its residents. In October 2010, a public library has opened, behind Citygate outlet shopping center. In April 2011, a swimming pool opened near the Ngong Ping cable car.
  In the future, an indoor games hall and community center are planned for Tung Chung. Furthermore, the Hong Kong Disneyland development at Penny's Bay will provide further recreational opportunities.
