Plover Cove


Plover Cove or Shuen Wan Hoi is a cove in the Tai Po District of Hong Kong, near Tolo Channel and Tolo Harbour.
It is encircled by the hills Pat Sin Leng and Wan Leng, the Yim Tin Tsai, Ma Shi Chau and Tung Tau Chau island ranges, and a long peninsula extending from Fu Tau Sha. A major part of the cove has been dammed to form the fresh water Plover Cove Reservoir.
An area between Sha Lan Tsuen and Ting Kok is known as Shuen Wan, where the villages of Chan Uk, Lei Uk and Chim Uk are located.
