Talk:Ma On Shan

Ma On Shan = New Town

Just search google, Ma On Shan even has its own town center. Whatever it has been in the past (how it's planned) is irrelevant, what's important is what is is now. Hunter 17:15, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Yet it is part of Sha Tin New Town. There are 9 new towns territory-wide. — Instantnood 18:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Is your mind still stuck in the past??? See what the government says [1] Quote: "...Ma On Shan has developed into a new town full of buildings...". Hunter 18:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

The yearbook says " Sha Tin new town embraces the areas of Sha Tin and Ma On Shan. " [2] [3] (note: 2004 is the latest published version) — Instantnood 19:08, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

It says that because it's an extention to Sha Tin Town development, now it is a new town. [4], there are numberous references of "Ma On Shan New Town" in many government & legco pages. Hunter 19:16, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

It's a new town, yet it's part of the Sha Tin New Town. Is it fine to modify it as " - a new town, an extension of the [[Sha Tin New Town]] in the [[Sha Tin District]], beneath Ma On Shan mountain "? — Instantnood 19:22, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

The term refers to both the town and the mountain. A dab here is not necessary.--Jiang 00:56, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

What Ma On Shan (the area) refers to does not overlap with Ma On Shan (the mountain). The area was named after the mountain, and it happens they are adjacent (and perhaps partially overlapped) with each other. — Instantnood 20:44, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Agree. It's just like Tsz Wan Shan, which is both an area and a hill (at least they share the same name in Chinese). --minghong 09:58, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
