Shek Wan (Chinese: 石環) was a bay in the western part of Tsing Yi Island, Hong Kong. North West Tsing Yi Interchange was built near the place. It was reclaimed for Hong Kong United Dockyards. The Chinese name Shek Wan (石環) might be mistakenly from Shek Wan (石灣), which means a stony bay. The two characters of Wan in Cantonese are of same pronunciation.
Famous quotes containing the word wan:
“one pale woman all alone,
The daylight kissing her wan hair,
Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
With lips of flame and heart of stone.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
