Geographical Context

Tseung Kwan O New Town is located in a long narrow inlet at the southern part of Sai Kung District in
the South East New Territories (SENT) (Figure 1). It is bounded by Clear Water Bay Peninsula to the
east, Tseung Kwan O Bay to the south, East Kowloon to the west, and Tseng Lan Shue to the north.
Surrounded by steep hills on three sides, the New Town is physically segregated from East Kowloon and
Clear Water Bay Peninsula. It is, however, very close to the Metro Area. The New Town has a total land
area of about 1 720 hectares (ha). It includes the areas of Tsui Lam, Po Lam, Hang Hau, Town Centre, Tiu
Keng Leng, Pak Shing Kok, Siu Chik Sha, Tai Chik Sha and Fat Tong O.

Tseung Kwan O is the third generation New Town in Hong Kong and is covered by the Tseung Kwan O
Outline Zoning Plan. According to the Hong Kong 2016 Population By-census, the population of Tseung
Kwan O was about 398 000.
