Kap Shui Mun

Kap Shui Mun (Chinese: 汲水門) or Throat Gates (historically spelled Capsuimoon) is the channel between Lantau Island and Ma Wan in Hong Kong.

[1] It is part of major sea route along the coast of South China, from Victoria Harbour to the Pearl River.

Kap Shui Mun Bridge, part of Route 8, spans the channel.

The original Chinese name of Kap Shui Mun is kap shui mun (急水門), the gate of fast-moving water.

To remove this malign influence, it was renamed to a title with similar sound, k'ap shui mun (汲水門), meaning 'water-fetching gate'.
