Mong Kok (Mtr)Mong Kok (旺角) is an MTR station located in the central area of Mong Kok, Kowloon. It is between Prince Edward and Yau Ma Tei stations. Mong Kok's livery is Dim Red. Mong Kok opened on 31 December 1979, originally serving as part of the Kwun Tong Line towards Tsim Sha Tsui and Central. When the Tsuen Wan Line opened in 1982, it took over the original line south of Yau Ma Tei station. Mong Kok station serves as an interchange between two MTR lines, allowing passengers to change trains either from the Kwun Tong Line trains to southbound Tsuen Wan Line trains towards Central, or vice versa. Initially the English name for this station was "Argyle", after the nearby Argyle Street. However the station was renamed shortly after opening. This station should not be confused with the KCRC East Rail station bearing the same name, as the KCRC station is nearly 500 metres to the northeast of MTR Mong Kok station.
