Kowloon is a station on the HK-MTR lines|Tung Chung and the HK-MTR lines|Airport Express of Hong Kong's MTR. Only about 10,000 passengers use this station daily due to its inconvenient location west of the heart of Kowloon, making it one of the least used stations in the MTR system.

This station provides an in-town check-in service for flights departing Hong Kong International Airport and free shuttle bus services to most major hotels in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei areas. The station is located less than a kilometre west of Jordan Station on the HK-MTR lines|Tsuen Wan.

People can access the new shopping mall Elements directly by using the escalators linking the station concourse and the mall.

History

In construction stages of this station, the station was named West Kowloon Station (Chinese: 西九龍站).

As this station was proposed as the terminus of the unbuilt East Kowloon Line, there is a reserved confined space under the Tung Chung Line platform. The space is not used due to the alignment was changed and the Kowloon Point (to the south-east of the station) Reclamation Scheme was shelved.

In the future, when the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Express Rail Link was completed, passengers can walk to the West Kowloon Terminus, the terminus of the rail link, to take the rail link.
