Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate
Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate (Chinese: 黃大仙下邨) is a public housing estate and Tenants Purchase Scheme estate in Wong Tai Sin, Kowloon, Hong Kong, along the south of Lung Cheung Road, near Wong Tai Sin Temple and MTR Wong Tai Sin station. It is divided into Lower Wong Tai Sin (I) Estate (黃大仙下(一)邨) and Lower Wong Tai Sin (II) Estate (黃大仙下(二)邨). After redevelopment, the estate consists of a total of 24 blocks built between the 1980s and 1990s.
Background
Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate was formerly a resettlement estate, called Wong Tai Sin Resettlement Estate (黃大仙徙置屋邨). It had 29 blocks built between the 1950s and 1960s with a total population of 97,000 at that time. In 1973, the estate was renamed as Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate. In 1980, Block 8 was reassigned to Upper Wong Tai Sin Estate and was renamed "Cheung Yan House" (長欣樓). Between the 1980s and 1990s, all old blocks were demolished to reconstruct new blocks. In 2001, some of the flats in Lower Wong Tai Sin (I) Estate were sold to tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 4.
