Tsz Wan Shan Estate in 1976

When Tsz Wan Shan Estate was completed in the early 1970s, it had become the largest resettlement estate with 63 blocks. In 1973, the number of residents was over 140,000. With a very high density of population and residents with varied and complicated background, the problem of public security arose, and Tsz Wan Shan and Sau Mau Ping in particular, with a degree of exaggeration, had became known as ‘outlaw territories’.
