Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

Tai Ho Wan or Tai Ho Bay (Chinese: 大蠔灣; Cantonese Yale: daaih hòh wāan; lit. 'big oyster bay', also 大濠灣; 'big inlet bay') is a bay on the north shore of Lantau Island in the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is located west of Siu Ho Wan, and northeast of Tung Chung and Kei Tau Kok. The surrounding land was originally planned to be part of the North Lantau New Town scope, but there is a current slowdown in its plans because of the lack in population growth and environmental groups opposed to the next in abeyance.

Summary from 汉语 / Chinese Wikipedia (zhwiki)

大蠔(英語:Tai Ho),或作大濠,是香港大嶼山北部的一處海灣,位於小蠔之西,東涌之東北,地區行政上屬離島區。1980年代末期的香港機場核心計劃,該地與鄰近的小蠔原會被發展爲大蠔新市鎮,並與西面的東涌新市鎮組成「北大嶼山新市鎮」,然而因中英兩國對香港機場核心計劃的造價發生爭議,爲爭取中方支持興建赤鱲角機場及機場鐵路,港英政府在1990年代初決定將大濠新市鎮剔出香港機場核心計劃的新機場支援社區項目,將該處的新市鎮開發計劃留待1997年7月成立的特區政府落實,其後特區政府以人口增長放緩爲理由及環保團體的反對意見下暫時擱置。2013年興建的屯門至赤鱲角連接路大嶼山的出入口設於大蠔,大蠔是西面也建有東涌東發展區。
