Lai Chi Kok Station is on the Tsuen Wan Line of the Hong Kong MTR system, between Cheung Sha Wan and Mei Foo. It was opened in 1982.
The station is in an orange-red livery, and is a simple through station with an island platform. Platform screen doors have been installed along both platforms in this station.
Although the station is called Lai Chi Kok, it is located in Cheung Sha Wan actually. People can use this station to access the southern part of Cheung Sha Wan. Cheung Sha Wan used to be an industrialized area, but in recent years, four high quality residential developments have been built on the reclaimed land, namely Banyan Gardens, liberté, The Pacifica and Aqua Marine. There is a pedestrian tunnel to connect these developments.
On the other hand, more and more industrial buildings are being demolished and being rebuilt into a lot of brand new commercialbuildings, and the replacement of industrial units into office units within many industrial buildings, therefore this station has a high stream of people in business hours.

“When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
