Lei Cheng Uk Estate

[4] In 1955, while levelling a hill to construct the Lei Cheng Uk Resettlement Area, workers discovered an ancient brick tomb dating to the Eastern Han dynasty (25–220CE).

A total of 58 pottery and bronze objects were found inside the tomb.

[5][6][7] In 1956, during Double Ten Day celebrations, a government officer ordered that a Republic of China flag be removed from the Lei Cheng Uk estate.

This escalated into the Hong Kong 1956 riots, where Pro-ROC camp and pro-Communists clashed.

The median age was 51.8 and the majority of residents (96 per cent) were of Chinese ethnicity.
