Wong Chuk Hang (Hong Kong Island)

Wong Chuk Hang (Chinese: 黃竹坑) is an elevated MTR rapid transit station in Hong Kong on the eastern section of the South Island line, built on the Staunton Creek Nullah and off the old site of Wong Chuk Hang Estate in Staunton Creek (Chung Mei). The station opened on 28 December 2016 with the rest of the South Island line.

It is named after the locality of the same name further east and serves residents in that area. The station is connected to a public transport interchange on a widened section of Heung Yip Road. A network of footbridges serves future commercial and residential areas, and the station exists as a hub to the Shum Wan area as a whole. The South Island line depot is located to the south.

Wong Chuk Hang is the fourth railway station in the territory to be built on a river, after Tuen Mun and Siu Hong stations on Tuen Mun River, and Long Ping on Yuen Long Nullah.
