Yau Tong

Yau Tong (Chinese: 油塘; Jyutping: jau4 tong4; pinyin: Yóutáng) is an area of Hong Kong, located in the southeastern end of Kowloon, between Lei Yue Mun and Lam Tin, at the east shore of Victoria Harbour, west of Tseung Kwan O. Administratively, it is part of Kwun Tong District, the most densely populated district in Hong Kong.

The English transliteration was first recorded in 1924 on a map on Devil's Peak by the government's military department.

However, the text in the book only mentions Yau Tong, saying that the local area is only used for ship repairing and shipbuilding purposes.

Yau Tong was largely undeveloped before 1940, and was considered a rural or suburban area.

In the 1950s, an oil depot was built in Cha Kwo Ling, north of Yau Tong.

In the 1960s, Yau Tong was zoned as a public housing estate along the Lei Yue Mun Road by the Hong Kong government.

At the time of its completion, Lei Yue Mun Plaza was the largest mall by floor space in Yau Tong.

Lei Yue Mun Plaza is connected physically to Domain through a series of bridges, allowing visitors to traverse between them easily.

The development of Lei Yue Mun Plaza was managed by the Hong Kong Housing Authority.

[8] Domain, opened on 29 September 2012, is connected to Exit A of Yau Tong station, and is the largest one owned by Hong Kong Housing Authority.

The Town Planning Board intends to phase out industrial operations and optimize the waterfront for public enjoyment.
