Che Kung Temple station

Che Kung Temple (Chinese: ; Cantonese Yale: Chēgūngmiuh) is a station on Hong Kong's Tuen Ma line. It is located on Che Kung Miu Road in Sha Tin in the New Territories. Its position was Sha Tin Tau Temporary Housing Area, so it was provisionally called "Sha Tin Tau" before the Ma On Shan line (the precursor to this section of the Tuen Ma line) opened. It is located near the Che Kung Miu temple. On the third day of the first month in the Chinese calendar (also known as the third day of the Lunar New Year) many people use the station to get to the temple. The station is always crowded during those days. Che Kung Temple station serves residential areas such as Chun Shek Estate, Fung Shing Court and Sha Tin Tau New Village. It also serves five schools, three churches and three temples. Although it is called "Che Kung Temple station", Tai Wai is nearer to Che Kung Miu (the temple) than this station.
