Mui Wo, Lantau Island is the gateway for visitors arriving by ferry, and it is worth exploring before you go to other parts of the island. The Mui Wo Valley was first settled by farmers in the middle of the Ming Dynasty (16 century). From the 19 th century, there were six villages in the valley, many of whose residents worked in a silver mine that works for several decades. The remains of the mine are still visible and has provided the area with the alternative name of Silver Mine Bay. Also survived until today are different watchtowers built by the villagers to protect themselves from attacks by pirates. Since 1930, the bay has become a popular beach served by a hotel, used mainly by visitors on weekends.
