  • 萬宜羈留中心（英語：High Island Detention Centre；越南語：Trại Cam Man Yee）是香港政府因應越南船民問題，在新界西貢區西貢半島萬宜水庫西壩附近設立的一間高度設防越南船民羈留中心，亦是懲教署轄下同類型羈留中心當中最後一間關閉者。該羈留中心於1989年10月31日啟用，原本由香港警務處興建並短暫管理，後來交予懲教署。它啟用前引來西貢居民的抗議，到之後又因遣返問題而導致入住船民的不滿，最嚴重的就是1995年大型騷亂和1996年兩百名船民逃營事件。隨著港府有秩序遣返行動順利進行，萬宜羈留中心亦於1998年5月26日完成其歷史使命，懲教署的越南船民事務也到此結束。然而，原址一直要到2002年4月才正式拆卸，現已改建為創興水上活動中心及香港太空館天文公園。 (zh)

  • The High Island Detention Centre (Chinese: 萬宜羈留中心) was a refugee camp in Hong Kong built near the West Dam of High Island Reservoir for hosting refugees and boat people from Vietnam. The area is now a flat piece of grassland that is grazed by cows. It has a pavilion that leads out of the strip of land. The Centre was initially managed by Hong Kong Police, and then by the CSD from 1991. The construction of the Centre was delayed by two months after concerned Sai Kung residents staged a sit-in at the site. It opened in 1989 and closed in May 1998. During that period, more than 20,000 boat people passed through its doors. (en)
