Tai Hang Tung Estate

Tai Hang Tung Estate

Tai Hang Tung Estate (Chinese: 大坑東邨) is a public housing estate in Kowloon Tong, Sham Shui Po district, Kowloon, Hong Kong, located near the Tai Hang Sai and Nam Shan Estates.

The Tai Hang Tung Estate was a resettlement estate built by the British Hong Kong government in 1955, after a fire broke out the squatter area in Tai Hang Tung in 1952.[1][2] The estate started redevelopment and rehabilitation in the 1970s. The first batch of redeveloped buildings were constructed in 1983 and 1986 respectively.[3] The last four old blocks, Tung Fu House, Tung Wing House, Tung Wan House and Tung Wo House, were demolished in 2003.[4] Two buildings in Redevelopment Phase 1, Tung Kin House and Tung Yi House, were built in 2002.[5]
