Choi Hung is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Kwun Tong Line. Although there are 4 platforms at the station, only platforms 1 and 4 are fully functional. There are 3 tracks that run through the station, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the third track that is located in the middle of the station. The third track is primarily used as a siding, and it leads to the Kowloon Bay MTR depot, located just east of Choi Hung station. The station's livery is navy blue with stripes of the colours of the rainbow, as Choi Hung in Chinese means rainbow.
