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,[1] Kowloon, Hong Kong, along the south of Lung Cheung Road,[2] near Wong Tai Sin Temple and MTR Wong Tai Sin Station.[3] 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.[4][5][6] 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).[7] Between the 1980s and 1990s, all old blocks were demolished to reconstruct new blocks.[8][9] In 2001, some of the flats in Lower Wong Tai Sin (I) Estate were sold to tenants through Tenants Purchase Scheme Phase 4.[10]
