Lei Muk Shue Estate (Chinese: 梨木樹邨) is a public housing estate in Sheung Kwai Chung, Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong, near the exit of Shing Mun Tunnels. It is the largest public housing estate in the Tsuen Wan District, with a population of 28,100 as of December 2021.[1] Although it is geographically located in Sheung Kwai Chung (literally means "Upper Kwai Chung"), administratively it belongs to the Tsuen Wan District[2] instead of the Kwai Tsing District because it is at the west of Wo Yi Hop Road, the boundary between the two districts.
History
Lei Muk Shue Estate was initially constructed in the 1970s, comprising 17 buildings.[3] Redevelopment began in the 1990s, during which eight old buildings were demolished. Ten new buildings and a shopping center were constructed between 1998 and 2005.[4][5]
