Background

Upper Wong Tai Sin Estate was a Government Low Cost Housing Estate, called Wong Tai Sin Government Low Cost Housing Estate (). It was divided into eastern and western parts. Western part had a total of 14 blocks (no Block 13) built in 1963 while Eastern part had 5 totally blocks in 1965. In 1973, it was renamed as Upper Wong Tai Sin Estate. In 1980, Block 8 of Lower Wong Tai Sin Estate, located at the south of Lung Cheung Road, was reassigned to Upper Wong Tai Sin Estate. And it was renamed as "Cheung Yan House" (). Between 1997 and 1998, Block 1 to 12 were demolished to reconstruct seven blocks (completed in 2000) and Lung Cheung Mall (). In 2002, Block 14 and 15 were demolished to construct a block (completed in 2009). Between 2005 and 2007, a carnival-type bazaar, "Creative Arts Playground" (), was established on the vacant eastern site to provide employment opportunities and promote district characteristics. After the activity ended, Wong Tai Sin Square () is now being constructed on the site.
