Wah Fu Estate

Wah Fu Estate is one of the famous public housing estates in Hong Kong. It is located in Waterfall Bay, South District of Hong Kong Island, close to Bel-Air Bay and Keelung Bay. Wah Fu Village was completed in five phases, with the first phase completed in November 1967. At its peak, the population was 50,000, and it is now half that. The Hong Kong Building Committee (now the Hong Kong Housing Authority) announced the construction of Wah Fu Estate in 1963, which was one of the ten low-rent housing estates planned to be built at that time. On September 27, 1968, the then Governor of Hong Kong, Sir David Trench, presided over the opening ceremony of Wah Fu Estate, which was also to celebrate the completion of the 25,000th unit of the Housing Association on the ninth floor of Wah Fu Wah Mei Building. Wah Fu Village was a housing estate in the form of a town with its own shopping mall, which was a pioneering work at that time. In addition to the markets, car parks and schools, there is also a library, the Pokfulam Public Library.
