The Brothers or Mo To Chau (Chinese: 磨刀洲, or 大小磨刀洲) consist of two islands in Hong Kong, the Siu Mo To (or East Brother, 小磨刀洲) and the Tai Mo To (or West Brother, 大磨刀洲). The group of islands lie in the north of Lantau Island, midway between Chek Lap Kok (where Hong Kong International Airport is located), and Tuen Mun. Tsz Kan Chau (匙羮洲), a tiny island nearby, is often regarded as a member of the group. The hills on the two islands were cut to avoid affecting aviation of the airport, but environmentalists complained that it damaged the habitat of the Chinese white dolphins.
