Heng Fa Chuen (Hong Kong Island)

Heng Fa Chuen is a station on the Island line of the MTR in Hong Kong. The station is located in the heart of the Heng Fa Chuen housing development. The livery of the station is orange-red.

It is the only station on the line that is on the ground level, and one of only two stations that are not underground. It is one of three Island line stations that have opposing side platforms, as opposed to island platforms or side platforms on different levels of a station. (The others are Sheung Wan and Kennedy Town stations.)

The MTR depot for the Island line, the Chai Wan Depot, is located to the northeast[clarification needed] of the station. Automatic platform gates were installed in this station in April 2011.

Before the opening of the Tseung Kwan O line, Heng Fa Chuen station was the easternmost railway station in Hong Kong. It remains the easternmost station on Hong Kong Island. The next station on the eastbound of the line, Chai Wan station, which is also the eastern terminus of the line, is located to its west-southwest.
