Yam O

Wikipedia

 
Yam O (陰澳) is at the northern part of the Lantau Island, in Hong Kong.

MTR is building a railway linking Yam O with the future Hong Kong Disneyland theme park. The station for the Disneyland train will be Yan O Station on Tung Chung Line.

Yam O may be renamed to Sunny Bay (or Yan O in Cantonese) (欣澳), because of the construction of the Disneyland theme park at Penny's Bay.
Yam (陰) in Chinese (Cantonese) means dark (the same word as the Mandarin (linguistics)|Mandarin yin, well known to most English language|English speakers from the expression yin-yang), but Yan (欣) means happy, therefore prompting the Hong Kong Government to change the name to provide a suitable atmosphere for the Disneyland rail link.
