Long Ping Estate, Public housing complex in Yuen Long District, Hong Kong.
Long Ping Estate is a public housing complex in Yuen Long built as a unified residential community with multiple tower blocks of varying heights from 19 to 34 stories. The complex contains over 8,000 units with shops and services spread throughout the grounds.
The Hong Kong Housing Authority developed this residential complex between 1986 and 1989 as the third public housing estate in Yuen Long Town. Its construction was part of a broader effort to provide affordable homes for the area's growing population.
The buildings carry names like Yuet Ping House and Hor Ping House that follow Chinese naming traditions and shape how residents identify with their community. These names reflect values that matter to the people living here.
The estate sits near MTR Long Ping station, providing easy access to transport connections across the region. Shops, restaurants, and everyday services are located right on the grounds, so you can find what you need without leaving the complex.
In 2005, residents of certain units were able to purchase their apartments and convert them from rentals to private ownership. This program allowed long-term renters to become homeowners.
