Lei Muk Shue Estate (Chinese: 梨木樹邨) is a public housing estate in Sheung Kwai Chung, Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong, near the exit of Shing Mun Tunnels. It is the largest public housing estate in the Tsuen Wan District, with the population of 28,100 in December 2021.[1] Although it is geographically located in Sheung Kwai Chung (literally means "Upper Kwai Chung"), administratively it belongs to the Tsuen Wan District[2] instead of the Kwai Tsing District because it is at the west of Wo Yi Hop Road, the boundary between the two districts.

History

[edit]

Lei Muk Shue Estate was initially constructed in the 1970s when 17 buildings were erected.[3] It started redevelopment in the 1990s, at which time eight old buildings were demolished. Ten new buildings and a shopping centre built between 1998 and 2005.[4][5]
