Hung Hom Bay

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hung Hom Bay (Chinese: 紅磡灣; Mandarin Pinyin: Hóngkàn Wān; Jyutping: hung4 ham3 waan1) is a bay of Victoria Harbour, between Tsim Sha Tsui and Hung Hom in southern Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Since 1850, the bay has been reclaimed many times: by 1996, it had nearly disappeared. All of present-day Tsim Sha Tsui East and Hung Hom Station of the MTR are on land reclaimed from the bay. The reclamation also buried several rocks, including Rumsey Rock. The bay once indented to present day interchange of West Kowloon Corridor with Hung Hom Bypass. There is a current reclamation project ongoing along the last remaining pieces of the bay, to include a new waterfront promenade and possibly a cruise terminal planned to finish in late 2014.
