Tseung Kwan O
Tseung Kwan O combines high-rise urban density with steep green slopes in a way that reflects its position around Junk Bay in eastern Hong Kong. Developed as one of Hong Kong’s new towns from the 1980s, the district has become a major residential centre linked by main roads and MTR services. Its coastal, hilly terrain remains unmistakable: housing estates and public facilities occupy levelled ground, while wooded ridges and engineered retaining walls define the edges of development. The Chinese name 將軍澳 is commonly rendered in English as Tseung Kwan O. The tension between intensive planning and confined topography is central to the district’s character.

Tucked along Junk Bay on Hong Kong’s eastern shore, Tseung Kwan O is a place whose character is shaped by extensive land reclamation and the steep green slopes around its new-town districts. Once a quiet bay of fishing and rural settlements, it has developed since the late 20th century into one of Hong Kong’s planned urban communities, linked to the city by the MTR Tseung Kwan O line. A waterfront promenade and cycle network follow the harbour, while surrounding hills connect the district with the wider Sai Kung Peninsula. TVB City in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate underscores the area’s role in Hong Kong television production. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Hong Kong.
