In the early 1980s, the government planned to develop the area into a new town. Before the first batch of population moved in the area in mid-1988, the settlement comprised only a few indigenous villages and the Rennie's Mill Cottage Area.
Today, Tseung Kwan O is a rapidly expanding new town. It currently has a population of about 370 000 which will grow to the range of 450 000 upon full development.
Tseung Kwan O's residential developments are planned to include public housing, private housing and village–type housing, supplemented by adequate provision of shopping, school, community and recreational facilities to cope with the population growth. Industrial developments are mainly accommodated in the Tseung Kwan O Industrial Estate and the Deep Water Industries Land located in the southeastern part of the New Town. Large areas of the New Town are planned as green belts and open spaces.
As a continuously developing area, some important developments including the MTR Tseung Kwan O Extension and a TV studio have already been housed. There will also be a Town Park and a cultural complex/community hall in the future Town Centre. The former landfill sites in the southeast of the New Town have potential for developing into open spaces and large-scale recreational facilities.</Content>

	<point Name="Tung Lung Island" ImgLinkage_spot="sk_17" map_link="17" IconType="Sightseeing" IconPosX_spot="277" IconPosY_spot="398" isLandmark="0">
		<Content>Tung Lung Island is an outlying island off the southern end of the Clear Water Bay Peninsula. It used to command a strategic position in the eastern approach to Hong Kong harbour and beyond to Guangzhou. Thus, a Tung Lung Fort was built at the northern part of the Island to reinforce security checks and to guard against the proliferation of pirate activities. Today, the cannon has been removed, but the remains of the Fort can still be seen. On the northwestern side of Tung Lung Island is a well-known rock carving, which is the oldest dated rock carving in Hong Kong. Dated 1274 A.D., it records the history of the two Tin Hau temples and describes the visit of an officer in charge of the administration of the salt fields that were an important part of Hong Kong's economy at the time.</Content>

		<Content>The ancestors of Yim Tin Tsai Village went from Guan Lan of China to settle in Yim Tin about 300 years ago, then from Yim Tin they came to this place, thus it was named Yim Tin Tsai. Previously there were about 500 villagers but most of the residents have since emigrated to the UK. Catholic Missionaries started preaching and built a chapel in Yim Tin Tsai about 150 years ago, a benchmark of the early development of the catholic religion in Hong Kong.</Content>
		<Transport>As there is no scheduled fleet traveling around various islands, the tourists have to hire the kaito at Sai Kung Town on their own, and have to plan their routes with the ship owners beforehead.</Transport>
