Long Bin Interim Housing, Interim housing complex in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Long Bin Interim Housing was a six-storey interim housing block built from prefabricated components near Long Tin Road in Ping Shan, on the edge of Yuen Long town. It opened in 1998 and was numbered from Block 10 because it coexisted with the earlier Long Bin Temporary Housing Area, whose Block 9 office was retained.
The complex opened in 1998 and served for nearly two decades as a housing transition solution. It was demolished in 2017 as the area underwent urban redevelopment.
The blocks were numbered from Block 10 because the estate coexisted with the older Long Bin Temporary Housing Area, whose Block 9 office was kept in use. After Sai Kung Interim Housing was demolished in 2007, Long Bin was the only prefabricated-component interim housing estate in Hong Kong until 2016.
The site was accessible by public transport near Ping Shan and housed multiple families in a unified residential area. Today, visitors can only reference its historical location within the broader Yuen Long redevelopment area.
Because it coexisted with the older temporary housing area, its blocks were numbered from Block 10, while Block 9 of the old estate stayed in use as the management office. After Sai Kung Interim Housing was demolished in 2007, Long Bin was the only prefabricated-component interim housing in Hong Kong until 2016.
