Lei Cheng Uk Estate, Public rental housing complex in Sham Shui Po District, Hong Kong
Lei Cheng Uk Estate is a residential complex with ten apartment blocks ranging from 18 to 27 stories in Sham Shui Po District. The development houses approximately 4,800 units designed to accommodate families of various sizes.
The estate was developed in three phases between 1984 and 1990, reshaping the urban landscape of the Cheung Sha Wan area. Beneath the construction site lay layers of much older history from the region.
The estate represents Hong Kong's commitment to providing affordable housing solutions through carefully planned residential communities in urban locations.
The estate sits about a 10-minute walk from Cheung Sha Wan MTR Station, making it straightforward to reach by public transport. The area is well-served by local schools and amenities for everyday living.
Workers uncovered a brick tomb from the Eastern Han dynasty containing 58 artifacts during 1955 construction work at this location. This discovery led to the establishment of Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum, which now displays these archaeological finds.
