When in 1279 the Song army was defeated in its last battle, the Battle of Yamen, against the Mongols in the Pearl River Delta, a high official is said to have taken the boy emperor in his arms and jumped from a clifftop into the sea, drowning both of them.
These emperors are also believed to have held court in the Tung Chung valley, which takes its name from a local hero who gave up his life for the emperor.
Forts, garrisons and outposts, including the Tung Lung Fort on the Tung Lung Island, were built during the Kangxi era after the defeat of Koxinga admistration in Taiwan.

The Hei Ling Chau prison could be seen as an almost paradigmatic case having emerged after years of internal government processing and only brought to the community to discuss whether the reclamation should be a “square” or “rectangle” shape.
Tung Lung Chau was considred to have too high conservation value.

 Occupational disease issues about Lung Cancer in the Hardrock Mining Industry - March 1994 as recommended to the ...
The hazard of radiation in air breathed into the lungs arises mainly from the emanation into mine air from rock faces, broken rock, and mine water of the radioactive gas radon; thoron and actinon are radioactive gases of relatively lower hazard.
It is important to note that the defences the lung mounts to counter the effects of smoking, and the chronic changes that result from cumulative cigarette fumes and gases (producing chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other chronic obstructive lung diseases) are nonspecific in nature.
This policy was enacted with evidence of an SMR of 160 for lung cancer in gold miners, and evidence of known carcinogens in the workplace.

Since 1990, following a consultancy study on the environmental impact of marine finfish cage culture in Hong Kong, it has been agreed by concerned government departments, that in the process of determining whether a new site is suitable for designation as a fish culture zone, an EIA should be conducted.
