Ma Wan Public Pier, Public pier in Hong Kong
Ma Wan Public Pier is a simple dock in Tsuen Wan District where ferries and boats arrive and depart regularly. The facility has a small waiting area with benches and signage, offering views of the water and surrounding islands from the pier.
Before the Pak Lai Wan pier and Tsing Ma Bridge existed, travellers reached Ma Wan by kai-to from Sham Tseng Public Pier, formerly called Ma Wan Kai-to Pier, at Angler's Bay in Tsuen Wan District, landing here. That kai-to service stopped running between 2004 and 2005, ending the pier's role as the village's ferry gateway.
The pier sits in Ma Wan Main Street Village, and its name appears in the old ferry route: the kaito from Sham Tseng Public Pier, formerly called "Ma Wan Kaito Pier", landed here. Since the kaito stopped running in 2004–05, anglers have taken over the pier as a fishing spot.
The pier is easily accessible on foot from central Ma Wan and is well marked by signage and nearby paths. The area has few shops, but small cafes and snack stands nearby offer quick refreshments if needed.
