Wong Chuk Hang (Template:Zh) is an elevated MTR rapid transit station in Hong Kong on the eastern section of the Template:Lnl, built on the Staunton Creek Nullah and off the old site of Wong Chuk Hang Estate in Staunton Creek (Chung Mei). The station opened on 28 December 2016[1] with the rest of the South Island line.

It is named after the locality of the same name further east and serves residents in that area. The station is connected to a public transport interchange on a widened section of Heung Yip Road. A network of footbridges serves future commercial and residential areas, and the station exists as a hub to the Shum Wan area as a whole. The South Island line depot is located to the south.

Wong Chuk Hang is the fourth railway station in the territory to be built on a river, after Tuen Mun and Siu Hong stations on Tuen Mun River, and Long Ping on Yuen Long Nullah.

Wong Chuk Hang Depot

While the main station will take up the northern part of the former Wong Chuk Hang Estate site, an underground depot is located to the south. This depot services and maintains South Island line trains.[7] The depot is completely sealed and is situated on sunken ground to avoid noise pollution to areas nearby.[8]

Atop the depot, a residential estate will be developed by the MTR Corporation. It will comprise 14 blocks with about 4,700 flats, as well as a commercial element.[9]

Future

The station is proposed to become an interchange station between the eastern and western sections of the South Island line. The platforms of the Template:Lnl will be built over those of the existing South Island line.
