Plover Cove

Plover Cove, also known by its Chinese names Shuen Wan Hoi (Chinese: 船灣海; Jyutping: syun4 waan1 hoi2) or Shuen Wan (船灣), is a cove in the Tai Po District of Hong Kong, near Tolo Channel and Tolo Harbour.

It is encircled by the hills Pat Sin Leng and Wan Leng (橫嶺), the Yim Tin Tsai, Ma Shi Chau and Tung Tau Chau (東頭洲) island ranges, and a long peninsula extending from Fu Tau Sha (虎頭沙).

A land area between Sha Lan Tsuen and Ting Kok is also known as Shuen Wan.
