Lantau Island is twice as big as Hong Kong Island but far less densely populated. The government decided that it was time to enliven Lantau and made plans for a major airport that was finished in 1998. These days, it is very easily accessible by both ferry (nice trip!) and plane. The airport was only the beginning of the island's metamorphosis. The old monastery and the enormous Buddha (the largest outdoor Buddha in the world) amidst tea plantations have to compete with modern inventions, such as Waterworld, Science City and the theme park dedicated to Chinese customs. When everything goes according plan, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (and many of their relatives) will come to live on Lantau in 2005.
