Mui Wo in Hong Kong HONG KONG hong-kong. mui-wo Informations and links Mui Wo Map Mui Wo Photos Mui Wo ------------------------------- Mui Wo is a rural town on the south-eastern coast of Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The main beach in Mui Wo is known as Silver Mine Bay. The history of Mui Wo is linked to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty in the late 1270s. (See History of Hong Kong) Mui Wo is located on Silvermine Bay, so named for the silver mines that were once worked along the Silver River which flows though the village. The nearby Silvermine Cave was mined for silver during the second half of the 19th century. It has since been sealed off for safety. 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, as the single-lane Tung Chung Road linking Tung Chung and South Lantau is not suited for higher loads. With the opening of Ngong Ping 360 cable car later in 2006, this may change. (From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.) Occupied by the UK in 1841, Hong Kong was formally ceded by China the following year; various adjacent lands were added later in the 19th century. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and the UK on 19 December 1984, Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 1 July 1997. In this agreement, China has promised that, under its "one country, two systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be imposed on Hong Kong and that Hong Kong will enjoy a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years..
