The site where the plaza is located now was previously the Kwai Fong Temporary Housing Area.[4] The temporary housing area was cleared and further developed into Kwai Chung Plaza by Nan Fung Group in 1990.[5]

Location

edit

Kwai Chung Plaza is located in the Kwai Tsing District at 7 – 11 Hing Fong Road, and is connected to MetroPlaza, Kwai Chung Sports Ground, and Kwai Fong Estate by footbridge.[6]

Kwai Chung Plaza is located in the Kwai Chung district of Hong Kong, in close proximity to Kwai Shing East Estate. There are several transport stops at Kwai Chung Plaza Blocks, the main one being Kwai Fong MTR Station, followed by several smaller stops. Although most of the residential buildings in Kwai Chung Plaza have podium gardens, these gardens are not connected to the transport stops in this area, so residents cannot reach the podium gardens directly from the MTR station. The residential area of Kwai Chung Plaza Blocks is characterised by their lower position than the podium gardens, which separate the residents from the public.[7]

Roads are in all directions connected by bus stations, and Kwai Fong station is on the southeast side of the plaza. The plaza is surrounded by residential areas, playgrounds, parks, commercial complexes, schools and colleges
