4 unusual facts about Tsuen Wan Station


Tsuen Wan Station

The famous Sam Tung Uk walled village was also relocated, though it was later preserved as a museum.

This was because the station was actually at the northern edge of Tsuen Wan town by then, and the infrastructure was also incomplete, meaning it was unable to attract many people in the town centre to take MTR.

It is thought to become a through station with two off-side platforms, originally designed as an intermediate station, with a terminus called Tsuen Wan West further north west near the present day Tsuen King Garden apartments (different from the present West Rail Line Tsuen Wan West Station).

During the construction of Tsuen Wan Station, the Route Twisk was diverted.
