Tong Fuk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tong Fuk (Chinese: 塘福, formerly 塘㙏) is a village and an area on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. It is a popular place for holiday recreation. Tong Fuk Beach in a bay south is a local attraction and visitors rent village houses for leisure. Several rivers and streams runs across Tong Fuk make it suitable of cultivation. A main river is at the west of Tong Fuk.
Across the main river is Ma Po Ping. It is sometimes regarded as part of Tong Fuk and where the Ma Po Ping Prison is located. South of Ma Po Ping is a bay named Tong Fuk Miu Wan. Tong Fuk Miu (塘福廟) means Tong Fuk Temple which is a temple sited at the east end if the bay, close to Tong Fuk. Beside the temple is Tong Fuk Submarine Cable Station and South Lantau Submarine Cable Station, where telecommunication cable links various destinations across South China Sea.
Tong Fuk is on South Lantau Road. Bus routes from Ngong Ping and Tai O at the west to Mui Wo and Tung Chung at the east pass through Tong Fuk.
A Lantau Taxi from Tung Chung MTR Station to Tung Fuk takes about 20 minutes and should cost roughly HKD60-70.[citation needed]
