Station location

Wan Chai Station
Traditional Chinese 灣仔
Simplified Chinese 湾仔
Literal meaning Mini Bay

Wan Chai is a station on Island line of Hong Kong's MTR. It serves Wan Chai. The main MTR railway is beneath Hennessy Road in the district. Due to the large area of Wan Chai, more than 50 ticket gates and eight entrances have been set up. One of the exits lead to the footbridge along O'Brien Road, which continues to Immigration Tower in Wan Chai North. The livery colour is lime green.

The tunnel for eastbound trains from this station towards Causeway Bay Station once featured an advertisement presented in the form of a slideshow. The large number of sequential panels, in conjunction with the fast movement of the train, allows passengers to feel as if they are watching a moving commercial.
