Wah Lai Estate (Chinese: 華荔邨) is a public housing estateinLai Chi Kok, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It consists of a total of two residential blocks completed in 2001.[2]

Lai Yan Court (荔欣苑) is a Home Ownership Scheme housing court in Lai Chi Kok near Wah Lai Estate and within walking distance to Mei Foo station.[3] Together with Wah Lai Estate and Nob Hill, it was formerly the site of Lai Chi Kok Amusement Park. It has three residential blocks completed in 2001.[4]

Background[edit]

Although it administratively belongs to Kwai Tsing District, it is very near Mei Foo Sun Chuen, Lai Chi Kok rather than other parts in Kwai Chung. Sham Shui Po District Council requested the government to include the estate into its district, but there are still no changes in the boundary related to the estate.[5][6] However, the government decided to include the entire Nob Hill, a private housing estate next to Wah Lai Estate, into Sham Shui Po District in 2007.[7]
