Lai Chi Kok Bay
Lai Chi Kok Bay (Chinese: 荔枝角灣) or Lai Wan (Chinese: 荔灣) was a bay west of Lai Chi Kok in Hong Kong. North of the bay is Kau Wa Keng. The bay was largely recreational during its history. In the early and mid 20th century, bathing pavilions were built on the beach of the bay for swimmers, and boats were rented for rowing around the bay. Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park, the Song Dynasty Village, and theatres were built on the shore. The bay was later reclaimed for building the KCR West Rail (now MTR West Rail Line) Mei Foo Station and recreational facilities like a park, swimming pool, library, and indoor sports facilities. Lai Chi Kok Bay literally means the point of lychee.
