Kwu Tung station, Future metro station in North District, Hong Kong
Kwu Tung is a planned underground metro station in Hong Kong's North District, designed to serve the Lok Ma Chau spur line of the East Rail line. The facility will integrate with existing rail routes to improve regional transportation connectivity.
Plans for this station emerged in 2001 when the KCR Corporation proposed it as part of expanding rail service toward the Lok Ma Chau border checkpoint. The project evolved through multiple planning phases over the following decades.
The station name Kwu Tung comes from Cantonese words referring to an old cave, linking the area to its early settlements and local heritage. This naming reflects how the community connects with the land's past through everyday language.
The site is currently under construction with targeted completion in 2027 and regular service beginning afterward. Visitors should check current construction updates before planning a trip through the area.
Trains already pass through the future station area without stopping, as the underground infrastructure has been in partial completion since earlier development phases. This reveals how the project developed gradually over time.
