History

The history of public housing estates in Tai Wai is linked to the history of Sha Tin New Town, which started in the 1970s, and to the opening of Tai Wai Station in 1983. Unlike Sha Tin Town Centre, public housing estates in Tai Wai are mostly built on old sites of villages and fields, instead of reclaimed land.[1][2]
