Tsuen Wan (MTR) at AllExperts (600 words)
Tsuen Wan (荃灣, Jyutping: cyun4 waan1, Pinyin: Quánwān) is the northern terminus of the MTR in Hong Kong.
Several shopping malls are near the station, and an extensive footbridge network is also built to connect the MTR station and the surronding area (including shopping malls, the original town centre, as well as some villages at the north).
Instead, more shops were set up in the station (which is the common practice of MTR station refurbishments in the 2000s), and gates were relocated to handle more passengers at one time.
