The station is named after the nearby [[Choi Hung Estate]], a [[Public housing in Hong Kong|public housing estate]].

==History== Contract 206 for the construction of this station was awarded to Paul Y. Construction (now [[Paul Y. Engineering]]). Choi Hung station was opened when the [[Kwun Tong line]] became operational on 1 October 1979.

==Livery== The station's livery is deep blue with stripes of the colours of the rainbow, as Choi Hung in [[Cantonese language|Cantonese]] means "rainbow".<ref name=scmp104875>{{cite web|url=https://yp.scmp.com/news/features/article/104875/why-are-hong-kong%E2%80%99s-mtr-stations-different-colours-central-red-reason|title=Why are Hong Kong’s MTR stations different colours?

==Station layout== Although there are four platforms at the station, only platforms 1 and 4 are fully functional. There are three tracks that run through the station, with platforms 2 and 3 sharing the middle track that is located in the middle of the station. The middle track is primarily used as a siding, and it leads to the Kowloon Bay MTR depot, located west of {{STN|Kowloon Bay|x}}. Platform 2 is the termination platform for back-to-depot trains, while Platform 3 is the boarding platform for out-of-depot trains towards {{STN|Whampoa|x}}.

The [[platform screen door]]s of the third track served as prototypes in 2001 when MTR started to test the feasibility of installing these doors in stations throughout its system.
