Wu Kai Sha is the northeastern terminal station on the Tuen Ma line of the Mass Transit Railway (MTR) system in Hong Kong. It is located between Sai Sha Road and Sha On Street in Lok Wo Sha,[1][2][3][4] also identified with Wu Kai Sha to its west, serving the housing estates and schools nearby. It was originally named "Lee On station" when the Ma On Shan line was under construction, for its proximity to the Lee On Estate on its southwest.[5]

History

On 21 December 2004, Wu Kai Sha station opened to the public with other KCR Ma On Shan Rail stations.[6]

On 14 February 2020, the Ma On Shan line was extended south to the newly opened Kai Tak, as part of the first phase of the Shatin to Central Link project. The Ma On Shan line was renamed Tuen Ma line Phase 1 at the time. Wu Kai Sha station remained the northeastern terminus of the renamed line.

On 27 June 2021, the Tuen Ma line Phase 1 merged with the West Rail line in East Kowloon to form the new Tuen Ma line, as part of the Shatin to Central link project, with the opening of the stations between Kai Tak and Hung Hom. Wu Kai Sha has since been the northeastern terminus of the Tuen Ma line.
