This looks more built-up than I'd expect for Ma Wan. I don't know that area very well, but the photos I've seen just show a jumble of small houses, not big buildings like these. I wonder if it's the spot where you caught the fery to Ma Wan?

Yes, thats the San Mig brewery and Garden Bakery site.

However, at this time I recall that the Ma Wan Island motorised sampan ferry operated from the Tsing Lung Tau pier further along the coast road

Hi there,

I have a faint impression that the HYF had had regular ferry service between Ma Wan and somewhere back then.  It may have been a lay over of the Central -> Tung Chung -> Tai O route, which also stopped at Sha Lo Wan.   Have to lookup old ferry schedule somewhere to confirm.
