The mud and sand in the stream of Liu To settled on the shores of Tsing Yi Bay. A marsh formed at the mouth of the stream and the water in the bay became shallower and shallower. Finally,an isthmus developed between Tsing Yi Town and Sheung Ko Tan. The inner water is now separated from the bay outside the isthmus to become Tsing Yi Lagoon.
Reclamation
In the 1980s,the Hong Kong Government started to reclaim the bay in three phases. The bay has now been completely reclaimed and the shore has been straightened from Nga Ying Chau to Tsing Leng Tsui.
