Bo Shek Mansion
Public housing estate in Tsuen Wan, Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bo Shek Mansion (Chinese: 寶石大廈) is a Flat-for-Sale Scheme public housing estate in Tsuen Wan, New Territories, Hong Kong located at the reclaimed land in Sha Tsui Road. It now consists of 3 residential buildings, built in 1996 by Hong Kong Housing Society. It, in total, offers 268 units for rental use and 400 units for the Flat-for-Sale Scheme. Its name in Chinese, literally "Precious Stones Estate" in English, was derived from the nearby Shek Pik San Tsuen (Chinese: 石碧新村; the character 石 means "stone"). The original estate was demolished in 1992, and 3 buildings, which stand today, were rebuilt at the site in 1996.[1]
