Originally the site of fishing villages, the island has been developed in recent years with the construction of Tung Chung New Town on its north-western coast and the completion of several major infrastructure projects, including Lantau Link ( 1997 ), Hong Kong International Airport ( 1998 ), Hong Kong Disneyland ( 2005 ) and Ngong Ping 360 ( 2006 ).

On 12 March 2005, Tung Chee Hwa resigned as the Chief Executive of Hong Kong citing health reasons.

Tang briefly served from 25 May to 21 June 2005 as acting Chief Executive after Tung Chee Hwa, the former Chief Executive who resigned citing health reasons.

After the passage of the law in March 2005, there was very little reaction in Hong Kong and news of the law was far overshadowed by the resignation of Hong Kong's chief executive, Tung Chee-Hwa.

A 2005 study by Laku Chidambaram and Lai Lai Tung based their research model on Latané ’ s social impact theory, and hypothesized that as group size and dispersion grew, the group ’ s work would be affected in the following areas: Members will contribute less in both quantity and quality, final group output will be of lower quality, and a group ’ s output will be affected both by individual factors and contextual factors.

Tung stayed in the ATS F3 Cup in 2005, finishing the series in third place, before taking the title in 2006, winning 9 races, 4 pole positions and 5 fastest laps.

Then from July 2002 to January 2005 he was Director of the Chief Executive's Office of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for Tung Chee Hwa.

Tung claimed his health was deteriorating early in 2005 and announced he was ready to resign.

This became a part of a legal dispute in 2005 after the resignation of Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee-Hwa.

However, Pope John Paul II was denied a visit ( deemed " inappropriate ") to Hong Kong in 1999, by then Chief Executive, Tung Chee Hwa, who was in office from 1997 – 2005, a decision many believe was made under pressure from the central PRC government.

The project was previously known as Tung Chung Cable Car Project before acquiring the Ngong Ping 360 brand in April 2005.

According to an authority spokesman, up to the end of June 2005, more than 85 percent of the 647 affected homeowners on Lee Tung Street had agreed to accept compensation offers of HK $ 4, 079 per square foot.

Tung remained in the office until 10 March 2005, 20 months after the march against Article 23.

Other major infrastructures includes the opening of the Hong Kong Disneyland in 2005, which was the fifth Disneyland opened in the world and the second opened in Asia after the Tokyo Disneyland, and the completion of the Ngong Ping 360 in 2006, which was a gondola lift system that connects Tung Chung New Town and Ngong Ping Market.
