Background

The site of Kai Yip Estate was the basement of the Royal Air Force,[6] in which the land was obtained from land reclamation of Kowloon Bay. In 1927, the basement started operations at the south of Nga Tsin Wai Tsuen, and the current sites of Richland Gardens and Kwun Tong Bypass. In 1981, the basement was relocated and Kai Yip Estate was built at part of the site. For the estate name, "Kai" means Kai Tak and "Yip" means "prospect" in Chinese.[7][8]
