 With 42 years of history, Lower Ngau Tau Kok Estate (LNTK) is the last resettlement estate in Hong Kong scheduled for clearance in the end of 2009. Apart from tenants' deep affection towards the place they lived, many people also miss such nostalgic resettlement blocks. Before the clearance, sitting tenants, shop owners and ex-residents of LNTK as well as several artists shared their fond memories of the Estate. |

Before the clearance, many sitting tenants, shop owners and even ex-residents of So Uk came forward to share their fond memories of the Estate, leaving behind a vivid historic record. |
