You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Lai Chi Kok''' is a neighbourhood in [[Kowloon]], [[Hong Kong]], east of [[Kwai Chung]] and west of [[Cheung Sha Wan]]. [[Mei Foo Sun Chuen]] is the largest housing estate in the area and also the largest in Hong Kong with 99 blocks. Administratively, it belongs to [[Sham Shui Po District]].<ref>((zh|))《九龍街道命名考源》梁濤 著，第52頁，市政局出版，1993年</ref><ref>((zh|))《香港歷史文化小百科16－趣談九龍街道》 爾東 著，第24-25頁，明報出版社，2004年11月，((ISBN|962-8871-46-3))</ref>

==History==
((More citations needed section|date=September 2023))
''Xin an county gazzette'' (((lang|zh-HK|新安縣志)), published in AD 1819, did not have any description of Lai chi kok, therefore, we did not have detail information of earlier history of the region. ((OR|date=September 2023))

Lai Chi Kok literally means "[[lychee]] corner", referring to a seashore named after a type of fruit tree native to southern China. However, some historians such as Leung Ping Wah suggsted the original name of the region was Lai Tsai Kuok (((lang|zh-HK|孺仔脚))), literally mean the footprint of the youngest son. The river once separated Cheung Sha Wan from [[Lai Chi Kok Bay]], and a river from [[Butterfly Valley]] separated Cheung Sha Wan from Lai Chi Kok. <!--what does this mean? Today, [[Mei Lai Road]] approximates the shore and [[Butterfly Valley Road]] the river before any reclamation.--> At the innermost area of Lai Chi Kok Bay, namely present-day [[Lai King Hill Road]], is a settlement called [[Kau Wa Keng]].

The [[Qing Dynasty|Qing]] government had set up a customs station in Lai Chi Kok, to collect [[customs duties]] after ceding [[Hong Kong Island]] and [[Kowloon Peninsula]] to the British.<ref>((cite book | last = Sayer | first = G. R. | title = Hong Kong 1862-1919 | publisher = Hong Kong University Press | year = 1975 | location = Hong Kong | isbn = 962-209-118-0 ))</ref> After the lease of the New Territories, the British reclaimed Lai Chi Kok for military use. A torpedo storage facility was also erected on the west point of Lai Chi Kok Bay, an area near Kwai Chung. <!--what? Later, the British used Lai Chi Kok for petroleum oil storage and later turned into [[Mei Foo Sun Chuen]].-->

At the time of the 1911 census, the population of Lai Chi Kok was 173.<ref>((Cite journal| last = Hase| first = Patrick |author-link=Patrick Hase| title = Traditional Life in the New Territories: The Evidence of the 1911 and 1921 Censuses| journal =Journal of the [[Royal Asiatic Society Hong Kong Branch]]| volume = 36| page = 83| year = 1996| url = https://hkjo.lib.hku.hk/archive/files/ecc123316b3526a31a101b3c4cf08a12.pdf| issn = 1991-7295))</ref>

==Buildings==
[[Lai Chi Kok Hospital]] is a special hospital located on the original location of the cap. Its neighbour, the [[Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre]], is managed by the [[Hong Kong Correctional Services]]. At one point, the [[Lai Chi Kok Incinerator]] was one of three [[incinerator]]s in Hong Kong; however, it was demolished because it released pollutants into the Hong Kong air. The headquarters of the [[Kowloon Motor Bus]] was also in Lai Chi Kok, before being relocated; the site has since been replaced by a private housing project called [[Manhattan Hill]].

==Transport==
((main|Mei Foo station))
The area is served by [[Mei Foo station]] on the [[MTR]] [[Tsuen Wan line]] and [[Tuen Ma line]]. The MTR's [[Lai Chi Kok station]] is actually in [[Cheung Sha Wan]], not Lai Chi Kok. Mei Foo is a transportation hub due to its geographic location in the north-western end of [[Kowloon]].<ref>((cite web|url= http://www.kmb.hk/tc/services/search.html,bus|title=Bus stop|publisher=[[Kowloon Motor Bus]]))</ref> [[Lai Chi Kok Road]] is named after this place, but most part of the road lies outside Lai Chi Kok.

==Education==
Lai Chi Kok is in Primary One Admission (POA) School Net 40. Within the school net are multiple aided schools (operated independently but funded with government money) and two government schools: Fuk Wing Street Government Primary School and Li Cheng Uk Government Primary School.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.edb.gov.hk/attachment/en/edu-system/primary-secondary/spa-systems/primary-1-admission/school-lists/2023dpnet-40b.pdf|title=POA School Net 40|publisher=[[Education Bureau]]|accessdate=2022-09-12))</ref>
