Tin Ching Estate (Chinese: 天晴邨) is a public housing estate in Tin Shui Wai, New Territories, Hong Kong, near Light Rail Tin Yuet stop. It is divided into two phases and consists of seven residential buildings completed in 2008 and 2010 respectively.
Background
The first and second phases of Tin Ching Estate were occupied on 10 July 2008, while the third phase was occupied on 1 April 2010. In particular, Blocks 1 and 2 (Ching Choi House, Ching Wan House) belong to the second phase, and Blocks 3 and 4 (Ching Pik House, Ching Hoi House) belong to the first phase.
Since the first and second phases in Area 103 were occupied at the same time, the third phase in Area 104 was occupied nearly two years later. Therefore, many people in the district mistakenly believed that the estate was divided into two phases. The first and second phases are the same as the first phase.
