2. Northeast Lantau Node

In view of its accessibility via Tung Chung Line with
the Sunny Bay MTR Station and the Lantau highway

network and the close proximity to the Hong Kong
Disneyland Resort, Sunny Bay is envisioned as the
‘Northeast Lantau Tourism Gateway’. With the

provision of new tourism and related facilities on the
potential reclamation, coupled with the existing Hong
Kong Disneyland Resort in the vicinity, the tourism
package of the ‘Northeast Lantau Node’ will be enhanced,
reinforcing Hong Kong’s position as Asia’s tourist hub Sunny Bay

and events city.

East Lantau Metropolis as Long-term Strategic Growth Area

As set out under Hong Kong 2030+, Hong Kong needs more developable land to meet our
long-term social, economic and environmental needs and aspirations, and to enhance our
resilience. The ecologically less sensitive central waters of Hong Kong between Hong Kong

Island and Lantau have been identified as having good potential for developing artificial
island(s) for a comprehensively planned Strategic Growth Area to accommodate a new town
27 and the third Core Business District (CBD3) of Hong Kong. This conceptual smart and low-
carbon development cluster is named the East Lantau Metropolis (ELM).
