Geography

The harbour is elongated in shape, with its mouth guarded by the island of Tap Mun (塔門). The inner stretch of the harbour is split into two arms by Tung Sam Kei Shan (Long Hill) at Tung Sam Kei Tsui. The East Arm, Chek Keng Hau, points to Chek Keng and the West Arm, Ko Tong Hau, points to Wong Ma Tei and Ngau Wu Tun.
