A Brief History of HK Disneyland

The fifth Disneyland style park, the park is located on reclaimed land in Penny's Bay, Lantau Island. After years of negotiations and construction, the park opened to visitors on September 12 2005, considered an auspicious date according to Chinese almanacs for the opening of a new business.

HK Disneyland Reviews Lantau Island
Disneyland and Surrounding Lantau
HK Disneyland is not on the mainland of Hong Kong but on an island known as Lantau. There's more to see and experience on Lantau. You can start or end your trip with HK Disneyland and create other short adventures while you're on the island.
Lantau is an island with old traditional fishing villages, and homes on stilts on the sea. It has an old buddhist monastery, and even has Vegetarian and South African cuisine.
For more adventurous spirits there is a 70 kilometers hiking trail that loops around the island where hikers can arrange to stay in cabins or hostels and spend countless hours of beauty in nature with mountains and spectacular waterfalls, as well as beaches to walk about and explore. Other adventures can be made by taking a ferry around to the other 233 outlying islands.
Lantau Island, also Lantao, based on the old local name of Lantau Peak (; lit. Ragged Head), is the largest island in Hong Kong, located at the mouth of the Pearl River. Administratively, it is part of the Islands District, but a small part in the northeast of the island belongs to Tsuen Wan District. It has an area of 146.38 km². Originally the site of sleepy fishing villages, the island has in recent years been transformed with the development of several major infrastructure projects, including Hong Kong's new international airport, Ngong Ping 360 and Hong Kong Disneyland.
