  Whampoa Location within the MTR system | |||||||||||||
Whampoa (Chinese: 黃埔) is the western terminus of the Kwun Tong Line of the MTR in Hong Kong. It is located within the developed area of Whampoa Garden immediately adjacent to the stern of The Whampoa, a symbol of identity for the area and its history.
The station was named after Whampoa Garden, which was built on the former site of Whampoa Dockyard.
The station was originally due to be open in 2015, but due to delays during the construction of the underground portion of the station, it opened on 23 October 2016.
Station layout
The station consists of a platform tunnel between two separate concourses and is mainly underground except for the entrances and ventilation shafts. The West Concourse is located at the junction of Hung Hom Road and Tak Man Street while the East Concourse is located along Tak On Street and be crossed by Shung King and Tak Ting Streets.[2]
Similar to at Po Lam and Disneyland Resort, this is a terminal station with a single side platform.[2][3] Due to the expected lower passenger demand in the area, as well as the fact that the single track at Whampoa cannot accommodate all Kwun Tong Line trains during peak hours, half of all peak-hour Kwun Tong Line trains terminate at the preceding Ho Man Tin Station. As a result, trains serve Whampoa at four-minute headways.
