Tsuen Wan Station (MTR)

Tsuen Wan Station is the northern terminus of the MTR Tsuen Wan Line, Hong Kong. It is located at the north-central part of Tsuen Wan town, and its next station is Tai Wo Hau.

The station is opened with the line's opening on May 10, 1982. It is, strangely, a through station with two off-side platforms. Actually, it is originally designed as an intermediate station, with a terminus called Tsuen Wan West further north-west (do not mix it up with the current station on KCRC West Rail). However, the area around that terminus had an unsatisfactory development record so it was decided to end the line here.

During the construction, the Route Twisk was diverted and the famous Sam Tung Uk walled village also had to be demolished and moved.

New roads and shopping centres are set up around the station, and a housing estate was also built directly above the station. A bus interchange is also set up under one of the shopping centres.

After over 20 years of development, the area near the station has already taken over the role of town centre (originally a bit to the south-east), and there are always crowds of people there.
