Lei Muk Shue Estate

Lei Muk Shue Estate (Chinese: 梨木樹邨) is a public housing estate in Lei Muk Shue, Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong, near the exit of Shing Mun Tunnel. It is the largest public housing estate in the Tsuen Wan District with the population of 37,000.[1] Although it is geographically located in the eastern part of Tsuen Wan as well as the northern part of 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.
