With an area of 10.69 km², the island has extended drastically by reclamation along almost all its natural shore and the annexation of Nga Ying Chau and Chau Tsai.

The island can be divided as four quarters, the northeast quarter is a residential area, the southeast quarter is Tsing Yi Town, the southwest holds heavy industry, and the northwest includes a recreation trail, a transportation interchange and some dockyards and ship building industry. The island is at the northwest part of Victoria Harbour and part of its development is under the Law of Hong Kong, Chapter 531, the Protection of the Harbour Ordinance.
