History
Parts of North Point have been inhabited since before the British arrived in the mid-19th century. The Metropole Hotel was built in 1899 and was used until 1906. In 1919, the Hongkong Electric Company started operation of the territory's second power station at North Point. In the 1920s, Ming Yuen Amusement Park became a popular entertainment venues on the Island. During the 1930s, the beaches of North Point became one of the most popular places for holding swimming gala in Hong Kong. In 1938, the North Point Refugee Camp was built to accommodate the influx of refugees from the Mainland. The camp comprised 26 huts. Access to the camp was via Kam Hong Road and Marble Road. During World War II, the camp was renamed the North Point Camp, and used as a prisoner of war camp for captured Canadian soldiers during the Japanese occupation.
This station was opened in 1985 upon the completion of the Island Line. Until 2001, the station was only used by that line, and the layout of the station at that time featured a stacked side platform arrangement with trains running towards Sheung Wan Station operating on the level above trains running towards Chai Wan Station. Between 2001 and 2002, this station was expanded to facilitate a cross-platform interchange with the Tseung Kwan O Line. A new platform was constructed on each level opposite the existing platform and the station served as the temporary terminus of Kwun TongLine. On August 4, 2002, the section of Tseung Kwan OLine from this station to Yau Tong was opened to allow passengers to develop familiarity with the new cross-harbour interchange arrangement. Since August 18, 2002, this station serves as the interchange station between the two lines as well as the terminus of Tseung Kwan OLine.
Have you ever been to North Point To spend your time and pray? The prison walls are dark and cold and grey. The writing on the wall at North Point Speaks to a silent room. They shut the bars down, leave you to the gloom. [ Chorus ] How could we get any closer? So high is the wire and the guards won't listen, They won't believe me. And then it all came back. Somewhere far above has a new day risen? Way beyond the searchlight, Comes alive, comes alive. Then on a bright day at North Point The gate was open wide. They chanced to look at what was inside. There were a million stars at North Point, And from the silent tomb, They took it to the heart and left for the moon. [ Repeat Chorus ] Have you ever been to North Point To spend your time and pray? The prison walls are dark and cold and grey.
