Mong Kok (旺角, formerly name Argyle Station after Argyle Road) is a rapid transit station on the Kwun Tong and Tsuen Wan Lines of the MTR system in Hong Kong. One of the first stations of the network to open, it is now used by more than 200,000 passengers daily. Mong Kok, like other MTR stations, has a unique livery, in this case dim red.

Location

Mong Kok station is located in the neighborhood of the same name in Kowloon. More specifically, it lies underneath Nathan Road at its intersection with Argyle Street. Important places nearby include the Grand Century Place, Langham Place, and the Pioneer Centre.[1] The Mong Kok East Station is nearly 500 metres to the northeast of the MTR station.

History

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.

Station layout
