Pillar Island orTsing Chau was anisland in theKwai Chung area ofHong Kong, sitting at the mouth ofGin Drinkers Bay, by the side of theRambler Channel, oppositeTsing Yi Island.
In the 1960s, the bay wasreclaimed and Tsing Chau became a land extension of Kwai Chung, the south of which isKwai Tsing Container Terminals. In the early 1970s, a cross-channel bridge,Tsing Yi Bridge, was built landing on Kwai Chung where the island once was. TheKwai Chung Incineration Plant once stood on what was originally the north side of the island. It was closed and partly demolished in the early 1990s.
