Choi Hung (彩虹, Jyutping: coi2 hung4, pinyin: Cǎihóng; meaning rainbow) is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong Line. Although there are 4 platforms at the station, only platforms 1 and 4 are fully functional. There are 3 tracks that run through the station, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the third track that is located in the middle of the station. The third track is primarily used as a siding, and it leads to the Kowloon Bay MTR depot, located just east of Choi Hung station.
