Tung Chung Line (MTR) |
| From Tsuen Wan, New Territories to Central, Hong Kong Island, cross Kowloon |
| The Tung Chung Line is one of the seven lines of the MTR system in Hong Kong. It links Tung Chung with Hong Kong Island. A |
| part of the Tung Chung Line was built along with the Kap Shui Mun Bridge and the Tsing Ma Bridge. It currently travels through 8 stations in 27 minutes along its route.
The Tung Chung Line, unlike most urban MTR lines, is mostly above ground. At the same time, most of the line runs along the Airport Express. The Tung Chung Line runs from the east to west. The line is underground from Hong Kong to Kowloon Stations, between them a harbour crossing. The line then emerges to the surface, outside Olympian City 2, and reaches Olympic Station at the surface.
After Olympic Station, the line runs at ground level beneath the West Kowloon

| Expressway, stopping at Nam Cheong Station. Then, the line rises above the ground onto a viaduct, which is also built under the West Kowloon Expressway. The viaduct leads a tunnel in the hills near Lai King. It emerges shortly at Lai King station to provide cross-platform interchange with the Tsuen Wan Line.
The line remains on viaduct after Lai King station, and crosses Rambler Channel on the Tsing Lai Bridge to Tsing Yi Island, where it enters Tsing Yi Station. Having passed Tsing Yi Station, the line enters another tunnel through the hills of Tsing Yi. It travels inside the Tsing Ma Bridge and the Kap Shui Mun Bridge.
Eventually, the line leaves the tunnel, and travels on the surface along the North Lantau Expressway. It stops at Sunny Bay station on the way. The line then shares tracks with the Airport Express before splitting from it just before it reaches Tung Chung New Town. Having reentered the tunnel, the line terminates at Tung Chung station, located underground. |
