Choi Hung Estate Info:
Choi Hung Estate (Chinese: 彩虹邨; literally: 'Rainbow Estate') is one of the oldest public housing estates in Hong Kong. It is located in the Wong Tai Sin District of Kowloon. The estate was built by the former Hong Kong Housing Authority (屋宇建設委員會) and is now managed by the current Hong Kong Housing Authority (香港房屋委員會). It received a Silver Medal at the 1965 Hong Kong Institute of Architects Annual Awards.
Choi Hung Estate is located in Ngau Chi Wan and is surrounded by eastern Kowloon Peninsula's several major roads. To the north is Lung Cheung Road; to the south Prince Edward Road East; to the west Kwun Tong Bypass and to the east Clear Water Bay Road. The geographical location accounts for the excellent transport network near the estate.
The Hong Kong government granted the land to the Hong Kong Housing Authority to build a large housing estate in 1958. The blocks of the estate were completed between 1962 and 1964. An opening ceremony was held in 1963 with the presence of the Hong Kong Governor, Sir Robert Brown Black. A signboard commemorating the ceremony is located in the estate's Lam Chung Avenue.
Accommodating nearly 43,000 people, it was the largest public housing estate at the time. It subsequently attracted several prominent visitors, including Richard Nixon in 1964 (who became President of the United States in 1969), Britain's Princess Margaret in 1966, and Princess Alexandra in 1967.

ha ha ha
i grew up here, seeing the video i know the places like the back of my hand some of the shops still have the same names after almost 60 years
well, we didn't have the carpark and everythig was just black and grey then, no rainbow colours dude.
thank you for the high quality video - i can see the flat and building i used to live at.
Thanks for sharing your stories with us 😁 I thought this colour scheme was originally there. Was it a recent change? But wow. 60 years and the original shop owners are still there?
Beautiful video 😊
Especially I liked building at 32:30 😊
There are many such buildings in the interior of Hong Kong (closer to Shenzhen) 😊
Beautiful. Thank you for this.
Thanks AM! 😄 Can finally say I been there to my HK friends
That was amazing! Thank you (I lived in Choi Hung as a guest in 2007)
You are welcome 😁
Thank you for making this video. I lived there almost 40 years ago. I hope to visit with my son someday. It was nice to see my old elementary school.
I'm glad the video brought back memories for you 😌 hopefully you will have a chance to see it again
Thanks Alan, you give a chance to people around the world to have the same view as you!
Happy to hear from you and thanks for watching =D Glad to know I can bring the location to you
thanks for video; looks like Singapore's old housing flats 😊👍🏻
Lots of similarities. I guess if HK had more flat land, more of these would have been built for its people
Interesting walk thanks for doing this for us Alan.
Really liked this neighbourhood. And how they managed to contain the peace and serenity in the middle of the estate
Wow very clear views alan. And it does remind me of singapore
Yeah. I was thinking the huge blocks reminded me of Boon Lay. You been to this part of Hong Kong before?
@@DiscoveryWalkingToursTV no i only went to the parts which are very tourist haha. like disney land and the ferry terminal to macua. so this is like the movies
if you caught the protests now right, you are probably going to go viral.
I only found out about this place after checking out instagram. Managed to visit a couple and you could almost say this is a tourist hotspot as well.
Thank goodness I wasn't caught up in it. Would have "ruin" my holiday. Haha. I don't think I would have been able to "Walk" much with all the crowds
_Alan, thanks for your Choi Hung Walking Tour.I didn't notice anyone trying to bother you unless you mean this fella __26:41__.He was just asking what you were doing and he didn't even chase you. LOL. This was reminiscent of a walk down Temple Street in Singapore_ 🇸🇬😎😆
Yeah that was the guy! 🤣 I didn't catch his expression on camera but he was really fierce. I "ran" for my life after that. Don't want to end up on the meat hooks
@ Discovery Walking Tours TV _Haha! That's why you need the DJI Mini 2 360 Camera. mm goi Alan_
Look very similar to Sg, it's like a combination of Jalan Kukoh, Beach Rd and TPY housing estate.
It does isn't it 😁 surprised to see this was how hk housing estates were like
Hi friends. My name is Alan and I recently visited one of Hong Kong's most instagramable location - Choi Hung Estate. With its high denisity housing blocks and colourful pastel paint scheme, I can tell why many travellers come here to have their photo taken. Have you visited this location before? And how was your experience? Let me know in the comments below.

Can u please make video of shun lee estate please..I grow up there and I miss it very much.
I saw Choi Hing Estate built in 1965 when In was a toddler.
Nice! Do you happen to live in this estate?
It looks like a typical HDB estate in the 80s or 90s.
Yeah I was really surprised when I saw it was built in a courtyard style. It was quiet inside the estate but outside is back to the bustle and hustle of the city. The estate reminded me of Boon Lay - don't ask why 😂 just got the same feels
stan loona
I wonder how the locals feel about so many people visiting just for the Instagram shots
Everybody very fierce looking , nobody smile , society seem oppressive
