Description
The East Rail line was known as the KCR British Section from 1910 to 1996, and the KCR East Rail from 1996 to 2007. The railway line starts at Hung Hom station in Kowloon and branches in the north at Sheung Shui to terminate at Lo Wu or Lok Ma Chau stations. Lo Wu and Lok Ma Chau stations are boundary crossing points into Shenzhen, hence the opening of East Rail Line can help promote tourism in Hong Kong.
