Did you know that Tsz Ching Estate stands on the former site of older housing blocks? Tsz Ching Estate is a public housing estate in Tsz Wan Shan. It is in Kowloon, Hong Kong. This estate sits next to Tsz Oi Court. Tsz Ching Estate has eleven residential blocks. These were completed between 1993 and 2001.
Let’s go back a bit. The site was once Blocks 48 to 53 of Tsz Wan Shan Estate. That area was also called “Tsz Ching Estate”. After redevelopment, the eastern part of Old Tsz Oi Estate became part of Tsz Ching Estate.
Nearby, Tsz Oi Court is also significant. It is a Home Ownership Scheme court. It sits next to Tsz Ching Estate. This area used to be Tsz Oi Estate. It included Blocks 33 to 47 of Tsz Wan Shan Estate. In 1985, Block 40 had structural problems. The Hong Kong Housing Authority discovered them. After fixing things up, the estate became HOS housing. It grew into 3 phases. Phase 1 and 2 have six blocks that were built in 1997. Phase 3 has six blocks from 2000.

The District Council elections also matter here. Tsz Ching Estate falls into two areas. Most of it is in the Ching On area. Ching Tak House, Ching Wo House, and Tsz Oi Court are in the Ching Oi area.
