Kwun Tong is a station on the MTR Kwun Tong Line in Hong Kong. The station was the original terminus of the line until Lam Tin Station opened in 1989. It is located in the Kwun Tong area, between Lam Tin and Ngau Tau Kok stations.
The station is elevated, unlike almost every other station in the system. Due to difficulties in installing platform screen doors (PSDs) in above ground stations, the MTR decided not to install PSDs in this station. However, due to recent accidents of falling into the tracks, the MTR has installed automatic platform gates (APGs) on the station's platforms. It is located far away from most residential areas, causing many residents of Kwun Tong to take other means of transport in order to reach the station. There is a shopping centre and office tower, named apm Millennium City 5, connected to the station.
Beneath the station building is a road tunnel which diverts traffic along Kwun Tong Road from the roundabout around the station.

Station layout
Platforms 1 and 2 share the same island platform, and it is curved, so the gap is large. Before Lam Tin station was opened, platform 1 was also used for departing westbound trains. After midnight, platform 1 is the termination platform of the Kwun Tong Line, so trains can return to Kowloon Bay Depot.
