Tai Wo (Chinese: 太和; Cantonese Yale: Taaiwò; pronounced: ) is a MTR station in the western part of Tai Po New Town, in New Territories, Hong Kong. The station is located on the East Rail line, between Fanling and Tai Po Market stations.

History

Construction of the station, situated within the eponymous Tai Wo Estate, began in August 1986. It opened on 9 May 1989 as an intermediate station of the East Rail line, then known as the Kowloon–Canton Railway, upon the completion of the estate.

Layout

The Tai Wo station premises are sandwiched between the two wings of Tai Wo Plaza, the shopping mall of Tai Wo Estate. Both of the exits at the station connect to Tai Wo Plaza, and passengers must pass through the mall in order to enter or exit the station.
