Kwun Tong station
Kwun Tong (Chinese: 觀塘; Cantonese Yale: Gūntòng) is a station on the MTR Kwun Tong line in Hong Kong. The station was opened on 1 October 1979 as the eastern terminus of the first phase of the MTR network, called the "Modified Initial System", until the Eastern Harbour Crossing to Quarry Bay opened on 6 August 1989. It is located in the Kwun Tong area, between Lam Tin and Ngau Tau Kok stations. The station is elevated and open-air, unlike almost every other station on the line. Only Ngau Tau Kok and Kowloon Bay stations are like this. Due to difficulties in installing platform screen doors (PSDs) in above ground stations, the MTR decided not to install PSDs in this station, instead installing automatic platform gates (APGs) on the station's platforms in 2011. It is located far away from most residential areas, causing many residents of Kwun Tong to take other means of transport in order to reach the station. There is a shopping centre and office tower, named apm Millennium City 5, connected to the station. Beneath the station building is a road tunnel which diverts traffic along Kwun Tong Road from the roundabout around the station.
