Tung Chung (Chinese:東涌) is astation on theTung Chung line of theMTR rapid transport system in Hong Kong. As the western termini of the Tung Chung line, it is also a transfer point of those wishing to use theNgong Ping Cable Car and by bus to travel to the rest ofLantau Island. As with all other MTR stations, Tung Chung has a unique colour scheme used throughout the station, in this case lavender.

Given that the Tung Chung line and the Airport Express run largely parallel and share much trackage, and that most stations on Tung Chung line are interchange stations, Tung Chung is only one of two stations on the Tung Chung line not served by other lines, the other beingOlympic.

It is one of the only 3 MTR stations onLantau Island, along withSunny Bay andDisneyland Resort.

Tung Chung station is located in thenew town of the same name on the northern shore ofLantau Island. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, with the majority of buildings in the station's catchment area being public and private housing blocks and schools. Exit C of the station leads to an open plaza which also provides access to a bus terminus and the nearby mall Citygate Outlets.^[1]

The contract to construct the station, valued at HK$1.1 billion, was awarded to Japanese construction companyAoki Corporation and commenced on 28 November 1994.^[2][3] The station was designed by Hong Kong architecture firmRocco Design Architects and engineering companyOve Arup & Partners.^[4]

Site preparation began in early 1995. The station was officially topped out on 18 December 1996. A public open day was held on 12 June 1998.^[5]

The station opened with the rest of the new Tung Chung line on 22 June 1998.^[6] In December 2003, eight suspended sculptures were installed over the station concourse. CalledLink, the artwork was designed by Hong Kong artist Freeman Lau, and alludes to the MTR's function in connecting urban dwellers to nature.^[7]

In 2029, 3 more stations will be opened on the Tung Chung Line with Tung Chung West Station being the new western termini. Tung Chung East and Siu Ho Wan will be new stations between Tung Chung and Sunny Bay Station.

Both platforms share the same island platform underground. A "First Train" indicator is provided along the platform indicating to passengers which train to board.

The Tung Chung station concourse is located at ground level. It has four exits (two at each end of the concourse).

Opened on 18 September 2006, the MTR-ownedNgong Ping Cable Car connects Tung Chung withNgong Ping, where thePo Lin Monastery andTian Tan Buddha are located. The Tung Chung Cable Car Terminal is about 200 metres away from Exit B of Tung Chung station.^[1]
