Background

Choi Wan Estate was the site of Ngau Chi Wan Village. Its name Choi Wan fits its geographical position because "Wan" (i.e. Choi Wan Estate, "Wan" means cloud in Cantonese) is above "Hung" (i.e. Choi Hung Estate, "Hung" means rainbow in Cantonese). The estate started construction in 1976 and finished in 1979.

It is so special that the block names are not similar to the estate name. Instead, the blocks are named based on the Chinese astronomical matters.[4] The estate is also the namesake for the northwestern Pacific Ocean tropical cyclone name Choi-wan.
