History
This stop was originally named "Lung Mun Stop" (Chinese: 龍門站) as it is located at Lung Mun Road (Chinese: 龍門路). Later, the section of Lung Mun Road near the stop was renamed to Ming Kum Road (Chinese: 鳴琴路), so the stop was renamed to "Technical Institute Stop" (Chinese: 工業學院站) as it is next to Tuen Mun Technical Institute (Chinese: 屯門工業學院). The stop was renamed again to the current "Tsing Wun Stop" in 2003 after Tuen Mun Technical Institute was renamed to Hong Kong Institute of Vocational Education (Tuen Mun) in 1999.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“All history is a record of the power of minorities, and of minorities of one.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The greatest horrors in the history of mankind are not due to the ambition of the Napoleons or the vengeance of the Agamemnons, but to the doctrinaire philosophers. The theories of the sentimentalist Rousseau inspired the integrity of the passionless Robespierre. The cold-blooded calculations of Karl Marx led to the judicial and business-like operations of the Cheka.”
—Aleister Crowley (1875–1947)
“What we call National-Socialism is the poisonous perversion of ideas which have a long history in German intellectual life.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
