East Tsim Sha Tsui (尖東, Cantonese IPA: /tsɪm55 təʊŋ55/; Jyutping: zim1 dung1; pinyin: Jiāndōng; contraction of "Tsim Sha Tsui East") is the newest station and the southern terminus on Hong Kong's KCR East Rail, opened on October 24, 2004, symbolising the comeback of the Rail to Tsim Sha Tsui after 30 years. The project was known as "East Rail Tsim Sha Tsui Extension". The line was extended from Hung Hom, the previous terminus, to Signal Hill, where the new station is located, through a tunnel beneath Salisbury Road.

The station was built to alleviate traffic jam and the high passenger flow at Kowloon Tong Station. The distance from Hung Hom to the station is about 1km with the journey time of 1.5min. However, the fares are unusually high (e.g., from Sha Tin, the fare to Hung Hom is only HK$5.1 (US$0.65), but the fare to the station is HK$7.6 (US$0.97)). That became the main cause of complaints among passengers. Kowloon Tong is a station on the Hong Kong KCRC East Rail. ...

Passengers also complained about inadequate signage on the station's trial run day. In response, KCRC has added more signs inside the station and divided the station into red, green and yellow zones. Welcome signs in Simplified Chinese, French, Japanese and Korean were also added, in addition to English and Traditional Chinese. (KCRC is also considering adding more signs in Simplified Chinese at all stations for the convenience of tourists from Mainland China.)

Nevertheless, a steady amount of passengers do change s at East Tsim Sha Tsui, since changing at Kowloon Tong may involve an ex terchange within the MTR system.

It should be noted that the current status of East Tsim Sha Tsui Station as a terminus station is only temporary.
