The area of Ma Wo is hilly and cut into half by Tolo Highway, connected only by a tunnel for pedestrian and bicycle. The west is much higher than the east. The higher Ma Wo is sparsely populated and the lower is much crowded. The lower land is surrounded by a hill Kam Shan to its north and To Yuen Tung to its south-east, Pan Chung to its far east.
Tolo Highway runs across the area but no entrance and exit there. In the lower land, Ma Wo Road is its main access leading to Wan Tau Tong and Pan Chung Road is a minor road leading to Pan Chung. There is no road spanning into high land though there is a service road for water services above from Pun Chun Yuen. The road ends near Ma Wo and a trail continues to Wun Yiu. The service road and the trail are part of the eighth section of Wilson Trail across Hong Kong.
