Following an initial phase focused on tourism, environmental protection and social welfare, the second phase emphasizes the conservation, restoration and rejuvenation of Ma Wan island’s historical structures. The newly completed second phase of Ma Wan Park, unveiled as Ma Wan 1868, pays tribute to the island’s historical significance. Highlighting the island’s rich heritage and marking a significant milestone in its development, the name references Ma Wan’s role as a key stop on the Maritime Silk Road and the establishment of a Qing Dynasty customs station in 1868. The development integrates conservation, cultural creativity, tourism and art retail. The coastal village houses, adorned with murals by local and international artists, create an Italian fishing village ambiance while incorporating creative studios, art shops, a performance venue, a campsite and an urban farm. These features aim to revitalize the Ma Wan village, nurture artists, and enhance local employment while offering diverse artistic experiences for both local and international visitors. Key historical sites, including the Tin Hau Temple, Stone Tablets of the Old Kowloon Customs, and Mui Wai rock inscription, are preserved in their original locations. By preserving historical sites and integrating art, culture and leisure activities, the project seeks to foster cultural exchange and establish Ma Wan as a seaside arts community.
