Hing Wah Estate is a public housing estate in Chai Wan, Hong Kong Island, Hong Kong, near MTR Chai Wan station.[4] [5] The estate comprises 10 residential buildings. The 7 "Old Slab" blocks belong to Hing Wah (II) Estate completed in 1976, while the 3 "Harmony 1" buildings belong to Hing Wah (I) Estate completed in 1999 and 2000.
Hing Wah (I) Estate was a resettlement estate which had 3 resettlement blocks completed in 1971. 7 more "Old Slab" blocks were completed in 1976, which formed Hing Wah (II) Estate. The 3 resettlement blocks in Hing Wah (I) Estate were demolished in 1995,[6] replaced by two rental blocks in 1999 and one HOS block in 2000 respectively. However, the government decided to change an HOS block from sale to rental finally, and renamed it from "Hing Tsui Court" to "Hing Tsui House".[7]
