Kwai Chung Incineration Plant (Chinese: 葵涌焚化爐) was one of four incineration plants in Hong Kong. The plant was built on a 1.4 hectares (3.5 acres) of reclaimed land along Gin Drinkers Bay, Kwai Chung, near Pillar Island and the Rambler Channel. The plant was opened in 1978 to process solid waste from Hong Kong to reduce the need to put waste into landfills.

Kwai Chung Park
Kwai Chung Park

Kwai Chung Park is a public park currently under construction in Hong Kong. It is located in the southern part of Kwai Chung, within the Kwai Tsing District of the New Territories, on the site of the former Gin Drinkers Bay landfill, which was decommissioned in 1979. The park is connected to the nearby Kwai Shing Estate by a pedestrian bridge. Plans to transform the landfill into a major town park date back to the 1980s under the British Hong Kong administration. However, just as the project neared completion, the discovery of methane on-site forced authorities to indefinitely postpone its opening. In 2009, a 3.9-hectare section of the site was repurposed as the Hong Kong Jockey Club International BMX Park, which saw only limited public use before being closed in 2010. This area is expected to form the first phase of the park when it reopens. The remainder of the landfill has largely been left abandoned, drawing widespread public concern and criticism. The site was cited twice in reports by the Audit Commission for mismanagement. It wasn’t until 2018 that part of the area was finally developed into a temporary cricket ground. If the entire landfill is eventually incorporated into the park, Kwai Chung Park would span approximately 27 hectares, making it the largest park in Hong Kong—larger than both the completed Tai Po Waterfront Park and the under-construction Metro Park in the Kai Tak Development Area of East Kowloon.
