Kowloon Station
Traditional Chinese:	九龍站

Transliterations Mandarin - Hanyu Pinyin: Jiǔlóng zhàn Yue (Cantonese) - Jyutping: gau2 lung4 zaam6 - IPA: /kɐʊ35 ləʊŋ11 tsam22/ - Yale Romanization: gau2 lung4 jaam6

Kowloon is a station on the Tung Chung Line and the Airport Express of Hong Kong's MTR. Only about 10,000 passengers use this station daily due to its inconvenient location west of the heart of Kowloon, making it one of the least used stations in the MTR system.

This station provides an in-town check-in service for flights departing Hong Kong International Airport and free shuttle bus services to most major hotels in the Tsim Sha Tsui and Yau Ma Tei areas. The station is located less than a kilometre west of Jordan Station on the Tsuen Wan Line.

Opened on 1 October 2007, people can access the new shopping mall Elements.

[edit] Cross Harbour Buses (Exit D2)

Kowloon Station is located in proximity to the Kowloon entrance/exit of the Western Harbour Tunnel. There, you can find bus stops with routes that go towards different parts of Kowloon and the New Territories. The bus stop can be reached through Exit D2 and then by walking across a footbridge above the toll plaza. Commuters can also get onto the buses that lead to Hong Kong Island, but that is not recommended since it costs more to change between modes of transport.
