Lai Chi Kok station
Lai Chi Kok (Chinese: 茘枝角) is an MTR station on the Tsuen Wan line. It is located under Cheung Sha Wan Road. It was opened on 17 May 1982. The station's livery is Vermilion.
Although the station is called Lai Chi Kok, it is located in Cheung Sha Wan. Passengers can use this station to access the western and southern part of Cheung Sha Wan. Western Cheung Sha Wan used to be an industrial area, but in recent years, several residential developments have been built on the reclaimed land, namely Banyan Garden, Liberté, The Pacifica, Aqua Marine, and Hoi Lai Estate. There is a pedestrian subway to connect these developments.
In addition, industrial buildings are being demolished and being rebuilt into brand new commercial buildings. The re-purposing of industrial units into office and retail units has led to the station having a high stream of passengers during peak hours.
The Chinese name of the station does not use the commonly used character 荔, but the character 茘 instead, which is the correct one according to the Kangxi dictionary. The same is true for Lai King station.
On 10 May 1982, Tsuen Wan line opened to the public, but Lai Chi Kok station did not open until 17 May, a week after. The station was built by Kumagai Gumi.
The station's colour is orange-red because of the bright red colour of the fruit after which the district is named.
