Although there is still a lack of adequate water supplies,

electricity and telephone facilities have been brought to the island

in recent years. A helicopter landing pad has also been built.

At present, a ferry service operating between Hong Kong Island

and Tai O on Lantau calls at Ma Wan daily. A 'Kai To' (walla walla service) also plies regularly between Ma Wan and Sham Tseng in the

New Territories.
