tung chung line (mtr)

The Tung Chung Line (東涌線) is one of the six lines of the MTR system in Hong Kong. It links Tung Chung with Hong Kong Island. A part of Tung Chung Line was built along with the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Tsing Ma Bridge. The line is indicated with the colour beige.

History

In October 1989, the Hong Kong government decided to replace the over-crowded Kai Tak International Airport, located in Kowloon, with a new airport to be constructed at Chek Lap Kok. The government also invited the MTR, then called the MTRC, to build a train line to the airport called the Lantau Airport Railway. The project did not begin until the Chinese government and the British government settled financial and land disagreements in November 1994. The Lantau Airport Railway turned into two MTR lines, the Tung Chung Line as well as the Airport Express. On 21 June 1998, the Tung Chung Line was officially opened by Hong Kong Chief Executive Tung Chee Hwa, and service commenced the next day. On 16 December 2003, Nam Cheong, and interchange station between the Tung Chung Line and the KCRC West Rail started service.
