Tung Chung, meaning "eastern stream", is an area on the northwestern coast of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. One of the most recent new towns, it was a rural fishing village beside Tung Chung Bay, along the delta and lower courses of Tung Chung River and Ma Wan Chung in the north-western coast of Lantau Island; the area was once an important defence stronghold against pirates and foreign military during the Ming and the Qing dynasties. Developed as part of the Airport Core Programme, the North Lantau New Town is the first new town on an outlying island of Hong Kong, with the first phases built on reclaimed land to the north and northeast of the original Tung Chung Town. Administratively, Tung Chung is part of Islands District. Since the Song Dynasty between 960–1279 AD, there have been people living in Tung Chung. At that time, they lived on agriculture. Crabs and crops were their main productions; this place was called Tung Sai Chung, when Hong Kong was still a group of fishing villages. Tung means east in Cantonese.

At that time, merchandising ships sailed east to the west to Macau. Tung Chung may be a new town, they show another façade of Tung Chung, of a village before the development of the airport and the town. In the 1990s, Tung Chung was developed as a new town; this was undertaken as part of the Airport Core Programme, a package of development and infrastructure projects surrounding the relocation of Hong Kong's international airport from Kai Tak to Chek Lap Kok, adjacent to Tung Chung. Tung Chung New Town was intended to serve as a supporting community for the new airport. According to the information from the Hong Kong Territory Development Department, Tung Chung is being developed in four phases into a new town with a target population of 250,000 people; the first phase was completed in 1994. This phase of development provided about 20,000 people in the district to support the airport at Chek Lap Kok. Phase 2 of Tung Chung development was completed. About 350,000 square metres of land was reclaimed east of the Phase 1 development area.

Roads and drainage works to serve this reclaimed land were completed in May 2000. Land formation of 270,000 m2 for the remaining Phase 2 areas south of Tung Chung Bay together with the associated infrastructure were completed in February 2001. Upon completion, Phase 2 development will accommodate a population of 67,000. Reclamation works under Phase 3A development commenced in March 1999 and were completed in April 2003. About 260,000 m2 of land was reclaimed north-east of Phase I development area; the reclamation will provide land for housing developments to accommodate a population of about 22,000. The remaining development in Tung Chung is planned to be implemented as Phases 3 and 4 and to be completed in a foreseeable future. Tung Chung is residential, but an office block and hotel have been completed, it is envisaged that in the future, other commercial projects will be developed in Tung Chung to support the growing population.
