Shek Yam East Estate (Chinese: 石蔭東邨) is a public housing estate in North Kwai Chung, New Territories, Hong Kong. It has three blocks built in 1996. It was developed on the former site of Tai Pak Tin Temporary Housing Area (Chinese: 大白田臨時房屋區), and not as a redevelopment of Shek Yam Estate. It is therefore considered as an independent estate.[3]
