Sung Wong Toi is a subterranean station on Hong Kong's MTR rapid transit network, situated on the , within the Ma Tau Chung area of Kowloon City District. It also provides access to Kowloon City and Ma Tau Wai through an underground pedestrian passage. Developed as part of the Sha Tin to Central Link (SCL) project, the station commenced operations on 27 June 2021, coinciding with the launch of phase 2 of the segment from Kai Tak to Hung Hom. The construction contract was awarded to a joint venture between Samsung and Hsin Chong.
Location
Initially, the KCR's blueprint positioned the station near Sung Wong Toi Road and To Kwa Wan Road, located on the former tarmac of Kai Tak Airport. However, the station's location was subsequently shifted nearer to the intersection of To Kwa Wan Road and Sung Wong Toi Road. This site lies at the western boundary of the old Kai Tak terminal and runway 13/31 area, now incorporated into the Kai Tak Development zone.
Naming
Although geographically nearer to Ma Tau Chung than to To Kwa Wan, the station was originally designated "To Kwa Wan," with its neighboring stop named "Ma Tau Wai." In 2017, an updated MTR network map renamed this station after the nearby historic site, Sung Wong Toi, which is associated with the Song dynasty and Emperor Duanzong. On November 27, 2017, the Transport and Housing Bureau confirmed these names following public consultation that emphasized geographical relevance, historical context, and community identity.
Archaeological discovery
During excavation on April 21, 2014, six wells along with Song dynasty artifacts were uncovered, causing construction delays of approximately 11 months and an extra expenditure of HK$3 billion. The government intends to conserve at least one well in situ by incorporating it into the station's architectural design. Out of about 700,000 relics recovered at the site, nearly 400 objects such as coins and ceramics are displayed within the station's concourse area.
Station layout
This underground facility comprises a single island platform and currently has three exits, with plans for a fourth exit underway.
