'''Ho Man Tin''' ({{zh|t=何文田|cy=Hòmàntìn}}) is an underground [[MTR]] [[rapid transit]] [[List of MTR stations|station]] on the {{lnl|MTR|kt}} and the {{lnl|MTR|tml}}, located beneath Valley Road in [[Lo Lung Hang]], as part of the [[Sha Tin to Central Link]] project.<ref>[http://www.legco.gov.hk/yr06-07/chinese/panels/tp/tp_rdp/papers/tp_rdp0716cb1-2124-1-c.pdf The slideshows provided by two railway companies for Sha Tin to Central Link], July, 2007, [[MTR Corporation]] and [[Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation|KCR Corporation]]</ref> The station's lower platforms (serving Kwun Tong line trains) opened on 23 October 2016 along with [[Whampoa station]] as part of the [[Kwun Tong line extension]], while the upper platforms of the {{lnl|MTR|tml}} opened on 27 June 2021.

Despite its name, the station is technically not located within [[Ho Man Tin]] and is more than {{convert|1|km|abbr=on}} away from the central part of Ho Man Tin between [[Argyle Street, Hong Kong|Argyle Street]] and [[Waterloo Road, Hong Kong|Waterloo Road]]. The station is nearer to central part of [[Hung Hom]] while [[Hung Hom station]] is located at reclaimed area of [[Hung Hom Bay]].<ref>{{cite news |script-title=zh:搜查線：何文田站唔喺何文田？80後誓保地名|url=http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/news/20161104/bkn-20161104060040784-1104_00822_001.html|work=[[Oriental Daily News]]|date=4 November 2016}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=The very Hong Kong reason why nine in ten MTR station names are actually inaccurate|url=https://www.scmp.com/yp/discover/news/hong-kong/article/3066413/very-hong-kong-reason-why-nine-ten-mtr-station-names-are|work=[[South China Morning Post]]|date=2 October 2017}}</ref>

==History==
Ho Man Tin station was constructed under the HK$2.97 billion Kwun Tong Line Extension Contract 1001, which was awarded in 2011 to Nishimatsu Construction. This contract covered not only the station, but also the railway tunnels between Yau Ma Tei and Whampoa Station, including a ventilation building halfway between Yau Ma Tei and Ho Man Tin.<ref name="HKIE2011">{{cite journal |title=All systems go for MTR's South Island Line and Kwun Tong Line Extension |journal=Hong Kong Engineer |date=July 2011 |volume=39 |issue=7 |url=http://www.hkengineer.org.hk/program/home/article.php?aid=6065&volid=133 |publisher=Hong Kong Institution of Engineers}}</ref>

The new {{cvt|58000|sqm|sqft|adj=on}}, eight-level railway station, cruciform in plan, was built on the site of the [[Valley Road Estate]], which had been demolished a decade earlier. Built into a hillside, the station is partly underground and partly above-ground. The underground levels were excavated through the [[Drilling and blasting|drill-and-blast]] method.<ref name="HKIE2016">{{cite journal |last1=Tam |first1=Angela |title=Bringing the MTR to Ho Man Tin and Whampoa |journal=Hong Kong Engineer |date=November 2016 |volume=44 |issue=11 |url=http://www.hkengineer.org.hk/program/home/article.php?aid=9000&volid=197 |publisher=Hong Kong Institution of Engineers}}</ref>

The Kwun Tong line platforms of Ho Man Tin station opened on 23 October 2016. The Tuen Ma line platforms opened on 27 June 2021.

==Station layout==
The station is located between Chung Hau Street and [[Chatham Road|Chatham Road North]]. While the Tuen Ma line platforms were boarded up, they were used as a passageway between the concourse and the Kwun Tong line platforms.

During peak periods, some westbound Kwun Tong line trains terminate at platform 2 and commence at platform 1 past the scissors crossover to a reversing siding. The remaining trains continue to Whampoa, the next station eastbound as well as the line's western terminus. This arrangement exists due to the limited capacity of the single terminating track at Whampoa, which cannot turnaround all Kwun Tong line trains during peak periods.

==Station art==
Multiple artwork is installed in this station. One of the artworks "Between Nature and the City" has a cat on bottom right corner. According to its creator Alex Heung, the cat is called "Ai Cow", and was owned by a Chinese medicine store in Ho Man Tin. The cat went missing in 2014 and netizens have launched a search campaign on Facebook. Through this cat, Alex highlights the connection and emotion of people, community and environment in his artwork.<ref>{{cite web|title=何文田．黃埔　港鐵藝術之旅|url=http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/lifestyle/20161013/bkn-20161013215919650-1013_00982_001.html|access-date=2 December 2017|language=zh|date=13 October 2016}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://hk.on.cc/hk/bkn/cnt/lifestyle/20161013/bkn-20161013215919650-1013_00982_001.html|title=何文田．黃埔　港鐵藝術之旅|date=13 Oct 2016|publisher=on.cc}}</ref>
