Nim Shue Wan
Nim Shue Wan (Chinese: 稔樹灣) is the south facing bay on the south side of Discovery Bay, Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Nim Shue Wan village was a small fishing village but now has become a dormitory village for workers at nearby Discovery Bay.
Boats and piers
The bay provides a safe anchorage for small fishing boats and pleasure craft. An even safer haven is provided by the Discovery Bay Marina Club which has a well established marina, now occupied by a large number of live-aboard residents who rarely set sail form their berths.
The jetty pier at Nim Shue Wan was once the main freight pier serving Discovery Bay before the Discovery Bay road tunnel linking to the Lantau Link opened in 2000. The pier has a vehicular ferry ramp and until 2006 also had building waste discharge ramps. There is also a marine refuelling bowser for commercial and public customers.
Today the pier is still the main passenger kai-to (small ferry) pick up point for services to neighbouring islands and other locations on Lantau.
Temple
There is a Tin Hau Temple in Nim Shue Wan, which was built in 1920.[1] Villagers moved the statue of the goddess to Peng Chau during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong.[2][3]
