Yiu Tung Estate

The foothills of Shau Kei Wan were once home to a vast area of squatter villages. In the mid-1980s, the government launched a plan to clear the squatter huts, resettle the inhabitants, and redevelop the area into modern and safe public housing. Clearance work began in 1987. The area became Yiu Tung Estate and Hing Tung Estate. In early 1992, Yau Lee Holdings was awarded the HK$231-million contract to build the second phase of Yiu Tung Estate. Visiting dignitaries were brought to the estate when it was new. During a January 1996 visit to Hong Kong, foreign secretary Malcolm Rifkind was given a tour by Chris Patten. Patten also brought Labour MP Derek Fatchett to Yiu Tung Estate in December 1996. ==Houses==
