Mui Wo (Plum Nest) was Lantau’s largest settlement before Tung Chung was born. Today this sleepy town functions as a shopping, eating and transport hub for the island's south side. The big draw for visitors is Silvermine Bay beach (銀礦灣), a decent stretch of sand with toilets and changing facilities just east of town.
There are several decent places to stay and eat in Mui Wo. Friendly Bicycle Shop near the Park ‘n’ Shop supermarket rents bikes.
