Lam Chau

Lam Chau (Chinese: 欖洲) was one of the two original islands that made up the site of the current Hong Kong International Airport. The small island laid to the west of Chek Lap Kok and north of Lantau Island. In the 1990s the island was flatten and joined with Chek Lap Kok to form the airport island by land reclamation. The former island is now the southwest tip of the new airport.
