Tsuen Wan (formerly also spelled Tsun Wan) is a new town built on a bay in the New Territories area of Hong Kong, opposite to Tsing Yi Island across Rambler Channel. The market town of Tsuen Wan emerged for the surrounding villages and fleets of fishing boats in the area. The now crowded city is around the present-day Tsuen Wan Station of the MTR. It was extended as far as the reclamation proceeded.
History
According to the report of Hong Kong archaeological society, there were people settled in Tsuen Wan as early as two thousand years ago. In earlier days, it was known as Tsin Wan (淺灣) which means shallow bay, and later renamed to Tsuen Wan. Another name Tsak Wan (賊灣, Hakka dialect pronunciation: tshet wan), pirate bay, indicates the presence of pirates nearby long ago. In fact, the area around Rambler Channel was known as Sam Pak Tsin (三百錢), literally meaning three hundred coins. There was a legend that pirates would collect three hundred coins should one pass through the area.
Tsuen Wan is the northern terminus of the MTRTsuen WanLine in Hong Kong. It is the only station on the Tsuen Wan Line at ground level. It is located in the northern central part of Tsuen Wan New Town, New Territories West. The following station is Tai Wo Hau.
It was the westernmost station in the MTR system until the opening of the Airport Station in 1998. It was also the northernmost station in the MTR system until the MTR–KCR merger.
Early history
The station opened as part of the line opening on May 10, 1982. A commemorative plaque in the station concourse, near exit A, was unveiled by Acting Governor Sir Philip Haddon-Cave. The station was designed as an intermediate station with two side platforms, with trains terminating at Tsuen Wan West, further northwest near Tsuen King Garden, different from the present West RailLineTsuen Wan West Station. The area around the proposed terminus had a poor development record and it was decided to not build a station there, even though tracks had already been laid. This explains why the station uses different platforms for loading and unloading. After leaving the unloading platform, trains enter the section of track beyond the station to proceed to the Tsuen Wan Depot or reverse back to the loading platform to go towards Central.
Tsuen Wan is a football team which is now an associate member of HKFA which does not participate in any division of the existing league. It is different from the Tsuen Wan team in the present Hong Kong Third 'District' Division League.
The team entered the formed Third Division league in 1969-1970. In the next season, the team was promoted to Second Division and captured the title immediately. In 1971-1972, the team played its first First Division League season. It is the second team which got promoted from third Division to First Division (the first team is Yuen Long). However, it relegated to Second Division again immediately in that season (26 matches played: 7 wins, 7 draws, 12 losses, 21 points).
In 1980-1981, the team was promoted to First Division again by finishing a second place in the last season. However, it stayed in the bottom half of the league in the following 3 seasons (8th in 1980-1981, 6th in 1981-1982, 9th in 1982-1983). In 1983, Ysuen Wan rejected HKFA's retain offer and relegated to Second Division League.
