Sung Wong Toi is an underground MTR rapid transit station in Hong Kong on the , located in Ma Tau Chung in Kowloon City District. The station also serves Kowloon City and Ma Tau Wai via a pedestrian tunnel. The station was built as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link (SCL), and opened on 27 June 2021 along with the rest of phase 2 of the (Kai Tak to Hung Hom). The station was constructed by a Samsung–Hsin Chong joint venture.

Location

The original KCR plans had the station near the intersection of Sung Wong Toi Road and To Kwa Wan Road in the old Kai Tak Airport tarmac, but the location was moved nearer to the junction of to leave wan and Sung Wong Toi Road. The location will be roughly at the western end of the former Kai Tak Airport terminal footprint and the start of runway 13/31, which today has become the western part of the Kai Tak Development area.

Naming

This station is located geographically closer to Ma Tau Chung than To Kwa Wan. During the planning and construction phases, "To Kwa Wan" was originally chosen for this station and "Ma Tau Wai" for the adjacent station, which is in To Kwa Wan.

In a proposed network map announced by the MTR to the public on September 23, 2017, the station's name was updated to that of the nearby landmark, Sung Wong Toi, a significant historical site from the Song dynasty era of Emperor Duanzong. On November 27, 2017, the Transport and Housing Bureau confirmed that the names of both stations had been finalized. These names were chosen to address public feedback on geographical accuracy, the historical importance of the monument, and the blending of railway structures with the local community.

Archaeological discovery

Display of archaeological relics in this station concourse attracted a large crowd on 27 June 2021, the inauguration day of Tuen Ma line full operation.

On April 21, 2014, construction workers discovered six wells and a trove of artifacts dating back to the Song dynasty. Construction was postponed for several months as archaeological evaluations were carried out. The unexpected discovery resulted in an 11-month delay and an additional cost of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars for the project. The government intends to conserve at least one of the wells on-site and integrate it into the station's design. Out of the 700 thousand relics unearthed, approximately 400 items such as coins and ceramic wares are now on display in the station's concourse.

Station layout

This station is located underground with one island platform and three exits, with a fourth under planning.
