It spans over [[Tsuen Wan]], [[Kwai Chung]] and the eastern part of [[Tsing Yi Island]]. Traditionally, the officials{{Who|date=February 2011}} of Tsuen Wan managed the area of proper Tsuen Wan, Kwai Chung, Tsing Yi Island, [[Ma Wan]] and Northeast [[Lantau Island]]. In 1982 the [[Tsuen Wan District]] was formed under [[District Administration Scheme]]. In 1985, with the explosion of population in the new town, the district was spun off from Kwai Chung and Tsing Yi to form the new [[Kwai Tsing District]]. Thus, the town is now under two administrative districts. Its total development area is about {{convert|24|km2}}. The population of the new town is approximately 801,800 and reaches the planned capacity. Although Tsuen Wan New Town belongs to [[New Territories]], it is also considered to be a part of [[Hong Kong]] metro area, like [[Hong Kong Island]] and [[Kowloon]]. It is because the town was early developed and is not separated geographically from Kowloon by hills or mountains. Also, there are no New Territories [[Taxis of Hong Kong|taxis]] providing service in Tsuen Wan New Town except at [[Tsuen Wan Station]] and [[Tsing Yi Station]], unlike other new towns in New Territories. In the latest official reports, Kwai Chung New Town and Tsing Yi New Town are separated from Tsuen Wan New Town. ==External links== *[http://www.cedd.gov.hk/eng/about/achievements/regional/regi_tsuenwan.htm Tsuen Wan New Town] {{Contains Chinese text}} {{HK new towns}} {{coord missing|Hong Kong}}
