High Island or Leung Shuen Wan Chau (糧船灣洲, Cantonese Yale: lèuhng syùhn wāan hói; lit. 'Tribute Rice Junks Bay Island') is a former island located in the southeast of Sai Kung Peninsula in Hong Kong, within Sai Kung District. Two dams constructed between 1969 and 1979 and crossing the former Kwun Mun Channel (官門海峽), connect the island to the peninsula, thereby forming the High Island Reservoir. Before being connected to the mainland, the island had an area of 8.511 km² (3.29 square miles) and was the 4th largest island of Hong Kong in 1960.
