\"Ma Wan is an abandoned fishing village in Hong Kong on the tiny island of Ma Wan (0.97 square kilometers). It is located between Lantau Island and Tsing Yi Island and the Tsing Ma suspension bridge passes overhead. One can still see the remnants of the old stilt houses (pang uk) along the shore. The residents of the village were evicted in 2011 and were re-housed in modern developments on another part of the island. When it was a functioning village, it was a tight community of fishermen and farmers, with its own schools, restaurants, village study rooms and a health centre. It is now quietly decaying, and it won't be long before the developers bulldoze it to make way for yet another new development. \"<\/em>
