Station location

Lok Ma Chau Station
Traditional Chinese	落馬洲
Transcriptions Cantonese (Yue) - Jyutping lok6 maa5 zau1 - IPA [lɔ̀ːk ma̬ː tsɐ́u]

Immigration counters for people leaving Hong Kong for mainland China's Futian Port in Huanggang, Shenzhen.

The double-decked Lok Ma Chau-Huanggang bridge across the Sham Chun River which forms the border between mainland China (far side of the river) and Hong Kong (foreground). The building to the left is Lok Ma Chau Station and border checkpoint.

Lok Ma Chau is the northwestern terminus in Lok Ma Chau on the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line, a branch line of the East Rail Line of Hong Kong's MTR network, which was built to alleviate the immigration checkpoint between Hong Kong and mainland China's Shenzhen at Lo Wu Station. The MTR Corporation is promoting the Lok Ma Chau Spur Line as a direct connection with Longhua Line (Line 4) of the Shenzhen Metro which is also operated by the MTR Corporation.

This station, together with the spur line, opened on the afternoon of August 15, 2007. The adjoining Futian Port Station of the Shenzhen Metro opened on June 28, 2007. Like Lo Wu Station, this station is located in the Frontier Closed Area, hence access is restricted to passengers with a permit or a passport and visa to mainland China.

In December 2007, this station was leased to the MTR Corporation, along with the entire KCR network, by the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation, for a period of 50 years.
