Stunning photo of a storm approaching Ma Wan

Someone posted this on the Park Island Facebook Page called The Ma Wan Network. Not sure who took it, but I love the photo. The photographer clearly has some talent.

    Hello all Park Islanders. We are a family from Australia and about to move to HK. Hubby will work in IFC in the Central district and so far Park Island seems just what we are after.

    Could anyone reccomend a good real estate agent? We have a budget of HKD 40,000 and so would like to know what is the best we can expect.

    We would like to be close to the ferry terminal and also near the beach. Would love to know other expats who live in Park Island already.

    The true storm approaching is the flood of mainland money coming our way. Its pushing up the Hong Kong stock market and the wave of liquidity is going to make property prices fly up like a cork on a wave. Wait until the stock markets go up this week!

    Love the photo. You obviously have a talent at photography as well as property investment advice. The agents are now offering up most places at 10,000K psf asking prices probably as no one is really selling. And no one needs to sell as their holding power is so strong due to being in positive equity. Rents can only only surely go up but I would think slower as they need to reflect the real economy rather then Chinese hot money.

    Dear Park Island Management. One of the children's play areas has a part that needs to be maintained. Can this be addressed? Usually the management services at Park Island are very good but this seems to have been overlooked.

Pool facilities on Park Island

Image
My favorite pool on Park Island is the outdoor pool at the Blue Blue Club. Blue Blue Club Outdoor Pool Right now, as things warm up, one thing I enjoy is eating a meal overlooking the pool, and then having a relaxing swim, followed by relaxation the jacuzzie. I usually swim 2 to 3 times a week, and I find it a great form of exercise. One thing I really like about Park Island is that apart being surrounded by ocean (where you can swim if you wish) there are a large number of resort-style pools to chose from on the island. The Blue Blue club has the outdoor pool (pictured above) and an excellent Olympic style indoor pool (pictured below), also with 3 jacuzzie (one large mixed-sex one, and then one each in the mens and ladies rooms, along with steam saunas, dry saunas, etc). Blue Blue Club Indoor Pool The other pools are located at the Green Green Club house, in the middle of the Park Island (again with communal jacizzie), and also a huge outdoor pool near the Phase 5 apartments...

When will private cars be allowed on Park Island?

Image
As promised, here is an update on the discussions I have had with the Hong Kong Planning Department and the Hong Kong Transport Department. First, below is the actual response I received in relation to submissions and inquiries related to allowing access and car parking for private cars for Park Island residents.  This office has consulted Transport Department on your proposal. T his email serves as a coordinated reply by Planning Department and Transport Department. The construction of the Airport Core Projects had impacts on the planning for Ma Wan. The Hong Kong International Airport at Chek Lap Kok is about 12km to the west. The Lantau Link, which is the major transport link between Lantau and the urban area, passes over Ma Wan. Ma Wan is located at a prominent location along the Tsing Ma and Lantau transport corridor and subject to traffic capacity and infrastructure constraints. Comprehensive planning and control on development on the island with due regard to ...

Green Green Club on Park Island

Image
Park Island has a number of club houses across the Estate. All residents can use any of the club facilities. Normally I hang out at the Blue Blue club, as I like the outdoor pool with the infinity effect overlooking the ocean, but I recently went to the Green Green club for a change, and took a look around. Here are my pics, in no particular order: -The club house has lots of activities for kids (and adults posted). Here is a snapshot of one of several pages of current activities. Park Island Activities for Residents Childrens' activities on Park Island -The Green Green club has a number of insulated music rooms, some with pianos and others empty. This is a GREAT idea for people (and children) who wish to practice music without disturbing neighbours. Its also a good idea for anyone who likes to play the piano, but does not want one taking up space in their apartment! Park Island Music Room -At the center of the club house there is a nice open roof "zoo". See...
