Tsuen Wan (Chinese:荃灣;Cantonese Yale:chyùhnwāan) is anMTRstation on theTsuen Wan line. It is the only station on the Tsuen Wan line at ground level. It is located in the northern central part ofTsuen Wan New Town, New Territories West. The preceding station isTai Wo Hau.

The station opened as part of the line opening on 10 May 1982. A commemorative plaque in the station concourse, near exit A, was unveiled by Acting Governor SirPhilip Haddon-Cave. The station was designed as an intermediate station with two side platforms, with trains terminating at Tsuen Wan West, further northwest nearTsuen King Garden, different from the presentTuen Ma lineTsuen Wan West station. It was built by Dragages, along with the line's depot.^[1]

The area around the proposed terminus had a poor development record and it was decided to not build a station there, causing the station to use different platforms for loading and unloading. After leaving the unloading platform, trains enter the section of track beyond the station to proceed to theTsuen Wan Depot or reverse back to the loading platform to head towardsCentral.

During the construction of the station,Route Twisk was diverted. TheSam Tung Ukwalled village was also relocated, though it was later preserved as amuseum.

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

The usage of the station was low when it opened in 1982, as the station was located in the northern edge ofTsuen Wan town, with the connecting infrastructure being incomplete, making it difficult to attract residents in the town centre to take the use the station.

After 20 years of development, the area around the station gradually took over as the town centre. Several shopping malls were constructed near the station, and an extensivefootbridge network was built to connect to nearby shopping malls, the original town centre, and some villages to the north.

The station also acts as an important transportation interchange, with numerous bus andminibus routes serving near the station. Commuters from northwestNew Territories used to change buses at this station to continue their journey intoKowloon by MTR, before theWest Rail line opened in 2003.

The station was refurbished twice. In the early 1990s, aChinese-style design was introduced inside the station. This design was removed after the second refurbishment in 2004, where more shops were set up in the station (a common practice of MTR station refurbishments in the 2000s^{[citation needed]}). Gates were relocated to handle more passengers.

Platforms 1 and 2 are both located at ground level, and the tracks are located right next to each other. One platform is used for boarding and the other is used for alighting. Two new exits have been built next to Platform 1, allowing passengers to leave the station without going up the escalators and coming back down again. Passengers entering the station via these exits will have to take an escalator up to the concourse, cross to the other side for the down escalator for Platform 2.
