The Northern Link will facilitate the development of the San Tin Technopole, supporting San Tin to become a liveable and accessible community and an employment hub.

Station Location

The proposed San Tin Station is located south of San Tin Highway as well as in close proximity to the planned residential, recreational and mix-used developments in the future San Tin Technopole. San Tin Station will also be at the centre of the residential development in the future San Tin Technopole. The station location makes it convenient for residents to walk to San Tin Station to take the efficient, convenient, and low-carbon railway services, thereby providing them with more travelling options.

Note: The station names on the Northern Link are working titles only. As the planning and design works of the Northern Link project are still in progress, all drawings and visuals are provided for concept illustration only, and the content is subject to change.

Station Entrance / Exit

The proposed San Tin Station will have entrances / exits close to the public transport interchange, proposed mix-used development and residential sites in the future San Tin Technopole. This helps provide passengers with convenient access to different parts of the community.

Station Explained

  • How was the location of San Tin Station determined?

    When planning the location of San Tin Station, we carefully studied and examined various factors to complement the development of the community, including population distribution and growth of the area, current and future planning and housing development, etc.

    As the San Tin Technopole is planned to be a liveable and accessible community and an employment hub, San Tin Station will be located in the centre of San Tin Technopole to provide the newly planned residential areas and employment hub with efficient and convenient railway services, enhancing the accessibility and connectivity of the San Tin Technopole.

  • How will the entrance / exit locations of San Tin Station be determined?

    When planning the entrance / exit locations of San Tin Station, we have carefully studied and examined various factors, including the need to set up the entrances / exits and relevant facilities at locations with a relatively high pedestrian flow, the need to complement the nearby pedestrian network and its ancillary facilities, the walking distance of passengers, pedestrian traffic during peak hours, environmental factors, technical feasibility, etc.

  • What is the progress of the Northern Link Spur Line? Will it start from San Tin Station?

    At the invitation of the Government, the Corporation is currently working on the planning and design of the Northern Link.

    We are very much looking forward to contributing to the development of future railway projects, including the relevant infrastructure in the Northern Metropolis, and driving the long-term development of Hong Kong. As always, we will maintain close communication with the Government and provide our full support to the Government’s plan to take forward new projects.

Station Design

San Tin Station is an underground station with three levels. The platform level and the concourse are located in the lower and upper basement respectively. The station entrances / exits are located on the ground floor, providing passengers with convenient access to the San Tin community and to transfer to other means of transportation.

Sustainable Station Features

Innovation and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) are embedded into every aspect of the project

The overall station design incorporates elements of sustainable development, with a target to attain BEAM Plus Gold Certification for the project

The overall design of San Tin Station incorporates historical and cultural characteristics of San Tin, aiming to realise the integration of urban and rural areas, as well as traditional and new generations, while promoting railway development in the community. The entrances / exits of the station adopt an open design to strengthen air circulation. The high ceilings at the entrance / exit lobby of the station also create a spacious and comfortable sense of space for passengers. There are also ingenious details in the design of the ceilings and flooring of the station which offer easy wayfinding for our passengers and facilitates passenger diversion, making their journey smoother. Examples of sustainable features of San Tin Station include:

Caring and barrier-free station facilities, such as passenger lifts, barrier-free accesses and public toilets will be available at San Tin Station for passengers in need, facilitating them to travel with ease. The station will also be equipped with a babycare room, providing a more comfortable environment for passengers to breastfeed and take care of their babies.

Use of innovative technology to enhance construction quality and work efficiency

Building Information Modelling (BIM) technology has been applied at every stage of the Northern Link project to visualise the railway structures’ internal and external design, making integration and communication on construction works easier. The project team is also actively studying the adoption of the Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DfMA) and Modular Integrated Construction method (MiC) to minimise on-site construction processes, thereby enhancing project quality.

Construction interface coordination and integration

As the Northern Link is a large-scale, complex and challenging project that covers a large geographical area and involves a wide range of stakeholders, there is a need to conduct extensive consultation, address the concerns and balance the interests of various parties.

The proposed San Tin Station will be located south of the San Tin Highway and in close proximity to the planned residential, recreational and mix-used developments in the future San Tin Technopole. It is expected that multiple new development projects in the San Tin Technopole would share the same or a similar construction cycle with the Northern Link project in the San Tin Technopole. Therefore, compared to general construction works, it takes longer for the project team to coordinate and communicate the detailed design options and construction arrangements, including matters relating to construction interface integration with various project owners such as Government departments, public utility organisations and the relevant stakeholders, etc. to ensure various projects are complementary to each other and can be delivered in a timely and smooth manner to serve the community.

In addition, as it is expected that constructing the underground San Tin Station will require deep excavation works, we will implement a series of mitigation measures as necessary to minimise the potential impacts on the public, surrounding neighbourhood and environment. For example, temporary traffic control measures might have to be carried out when adopting the cut-and-cover construction method. We will consider decking over where feasible to facilitate pedestrian and vehicle traffic, with an aim to maintain construction efficiency while minimising the potential impacts on the surrounding community and environment.

Do you know the inspiration for the San Tin Station theme colour?

The Northern Link connects neighbourhoods with abundant nature, beautiful scenery and historic buildings. When developing the theme colours and designs for each station, we have taken these communities’ unique styles, history and local landmarks as essential sources of inspiration. We hope the new stations can integrate harmoniously into the community while driving new developments.

The primary theme colour of San Tin Station helps to integrate the red rice cultivation history of the local community into the station design. Colours representing the nearby gei wai (ponds) and the paddy field scenery of the past are also incorporated into the station design as highlights. In the future, travelling on the Northern Link will be a remarkable journey to experience the distinctive culture and characteristics of the community, as passengers will feel as if they are on a voyage to the past and enjoying the good old paddy field scenery.

Connecting past, present and future

The Man clan, one of the five major family clans in the New Territories, has a long history in Hong Kong with its roots tracing back to the early Ming Dynasty. The Man clan has settled in San Tin and preserved its legacy with various historic buildings and cultural heritage.
