Oi Tung Estate, Public rental housing complex in Eastern District, Hong Kong.
Oi Tung Estate is a housing development with six residential towers in the Shau Kei Wan area. The complex contains roughly 3,900 flats arranged in a planned layout that serves thousands of residents.
The complex was completed in 2001 as part of Hong Kong's long-running effort to provide housing for the general population. Its creation marked a period of active expansion in government-funded residential developments across the city.
The six residential blocks carry names rooted in traditional Chinese naming practices, each conveying positive concepts. This naming approach reflects how local values are woven into everyday urban life.
The location sits about 300 meters from Shau Kei Wan MTR station, making public transport connections straightforward. Supermarkets like ParknShop and Wellcome operate on site, and multiple bus routes link the complex to surrounding neighborhoods.
The estate was specifically designed to house families from different income backgrounds while maintaining standardized rental rates for all residents. This model makes it a visible example of social integration efforts in contemporary urban planning.
