The imminent redevelopment of Tai Hang Sai Estate in Shek Kip Mei represents the unavoidable demolition of this distinctive private rental housing estate in Hong Kong. The charm of the estate's "grid layout" has made it a popular “check-in spots” for public recently. Completed over half a century ago, the external walls of Tai Hang Sai Estate are deteriorating, with concrete peeling off. There are no lifts. It is common to see elderly navigating the stairs with canes. The small businesses in the estate are also facing the end of their years of hard work and will have to say goodbye to their close-knit neighbourhood. Nestled at the foot of Lion Rock for nearly sixty years, Tai Hang Sai Estate has witnessed the growth of generations of Hong Kong people. Known as the "Gentlemen's Estate," this estate is renowned for being managed by the HK Settlers Housing Corporation Ltd, founded by six Justices of the Peace. This episode will explore the touching stories of Tai Hang Sai Estate.
