Kau Shat Wan (Chinese : 狗 いぬ 虱 しらみ 灣 わん , literally dog flea bay ) was a bay located between Discovery Bay and Mui Wo on Lantau Island , New Territories , Hong Kong . In the 1990s, the Hong Kong Government decided to reclaim the bay to construct a Government explosives depot and replace the one on Stonecutters Island . The depot started operation in 1997.[ 1]
An automatic irrigation system run by solar power was tried out on a vegetated slope at Kau Shat Wan.[ 2] The dismantled components of Queen's Pier are now also stored in there.[ 3]
