Prince Edward station, Metro station in Mong Kok, Hong Kong
Prince Edward is an underground metro station in the Yau Tsim Mong District of Hong Kong, sitting below the junction of Nathan Road and Prince Edward Road West. It has two island platforms served by four parallel tracks and works as an interchange between the Tsuen Wan Line and the Kwun Tong Line.
The station opened on May 10, 1982, initially serving as an interchange without direct street access. Over the following years, additional exits were added and it grew into one of the busier transfer points along Nathan Road.
The station takes its name from Prince Edward Road, which was named after the British prince who visited Hong Kong in 1922. The platforms and corridors are decorated in light purple, the color used to mark this line across the network.
The station has several exits leading to different parts of Nathan Road and the surrounding streets, so it helps to check the exit map before heading up. Visitors heading to the nearby flower and goldfish markets should look for the exits on the northern side of the station.
The stretch between this station and the neighboring Mong Kok station is roughly 400 meters (about a quarter mile), making it the shortest gap between any two stops in Hong Kong's MTR network. Many passengers who realize this simply walk the distance above ground rather than boarding a train.
