With the exception of Tsui Lam Estate, King Ming Court and Hong Sing Garden, all the public housing and HOS estates in Tseung Kwan O are built on the reclaimed land of Junk Bay.[1]
In the 1990s, cracks were found at various places around On Ning Garden, Fu Ning Garden, Tong Ming Court, Beverly Garden and Bauhinia Garden.[2] The estates were also found unusual soil settlement on their reclaimed land when the MTR Tseung Kwan O line was being constructed.[3] After investigation, the government explained that the settlement occurred due to consolidation of soil layers overlying the bedrock when groundwater was lost to the sewage collection tunnels and not adequately replenished from the surface. But the government emphasized that the buildings built on the reclaimed land were still safe.[4][5]

Transit[edit]
There is a steep slope near the main road for residents to walk directly from Tsui Lam to Po Lam. It takes 10 minutes to walk there. There are also public buses 296M, 93A, 98C and minibus 17M for residents' commuting.
Animals found in Tsui Lam Estate[edit]
As the estate is near a forest, birds and insects are easily found. In summer, mosquitoes appear frequently and parents need to protect the kids in the playground. Once, a wild monkey and a wild boar were discovered and the government services took them away and released them in the forest. No damages or injuries occurred.[62]
