**Sunny Bay** ([Chinese](/source/Traditional_Chinese_characters): 欣澳; [Jyutping](/source/Jyutping): *jan1 ou3*; [Cantonese Yale](/source/Yale_romanization_of_Cantonese): *Yān ou*) is an [MTR](/source/MTR) [station](/source/List_of_MTR_stations) in [Yam O](/source/Yam_O). It is between [Tung Chung](/source/Tung_Chung_station) and [Tsing Yi](/source/Tsing_Yi_station) stations. The station is an interchange station between the [Tung Chung line](/source/Tung_Chung_line) and the [Disneyland Resort line](/source/Disneyland_Resort_line) to [Hong Kong Disneyland](/source/Hong_Kong_Disneyland). The station was originally to be named *Yam O* ([陰](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E9%99%B0)[澳](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/%E6%BE%B3)); however, the name was ultimately replaced, likely because of its linguistically negative connotations[footnote 1]. Services to the station commenced on 1 June 2005. The transfer facilities to the [Disneyland Resort line](/source/Disneyland_Resort_line) opened 2 months later (1 August 2005) that year. The livery of the station is slate grey.

The station was the first MTR station to have [automatic platform gates](/source/Automatic_platform_gates) (APG) installed on the edge of its platforms. These gates range from half to three quarters the height of the [platform screen doors](/source/Platform_screen_doors) found in other MTR stations. In line with ground level and above-ground MTR stations, Sunny Bay and [Disneyland Resort](/source/Disneyland_Resort_station) stations are not air conditioned, and rely on their open architecture to keep the temperature low.

The station is primarily used to travel to Hong Kong Disneyland, with an interchange from the Tung Chung line onto the Disneyland Resort line, but also provides bus transport links to the [Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge](/source/Hong_Kong%E2%80%93Zhuhai%E2%80%93Macau_Bridge) and [Discovery Bay](/source/Discovery_Bay). The [Airport Express](/source/Airport_Express_(MTR)) passes through the centre tracks of the station without stopping. This station is equipped with emergency platforms for the Airport Express.

## History

The Tung Chung line began operations on 22 June 1998, shortly followed by the Airport Express two weeks later on 6 July. However, Sunny Bay station was not built at the time.

On 1 June 2005, in order to prepare for the opening of the Hong Kong Disneyland Resort, Sunny Bay station was opened initially for the staff of the resort. Two months later, on 1 August 2005, Disneyland Resort line also opened to the public.

## Station layout

Tung Chung line platforms

Platforms 1 (Tung Chung line towards Tung Chung) and 3 (Disneyland Resort line) are located opposite to each other to allow easy interchange of trains for passengers travelling from the urban areas. Architecture firm [Aedas](/source/Aedas) was the architect for the Disneyland Resort line and the architect for the Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort stations.[1]

Passengers travelling from Hong Kong can disembark and board Disneyland Resort trains departing from the opposite platform. Passengers returning from Disneyland Resort must cross a footbridge to reach platform 2 to board Tung Chung line trains heading towards Hong Kong. The exit gates are located on the same level and on the same side of the rail tracks as Platform 2.[2]

## Entrance/exit

The exit at Sunny Bay

- **A:** Transport interchange

Situated in reclaimed land near Yam O, the area is uninhabited and the sole exit leads to an emergency car park and transport interchange.[3] As of 2005, the interchange is solely used by residents of [Discovery Bay](/source/Discovery_Bay) as the only bus routes run from the interchange to Discovery Bay, and as of late 2018, local passengers use this station in order to change for border route B5 (operated by [Citybus](/source/Citybus_(Hong_Kong))) in order to change for buses to Macau and Zhuhai.

## Footnotes

1. **[^](#cite_ref-yin_1-0)** Cantonese 陰/*Yam* is more commonly known to English speakers as Mandarin *[yin](/source/Yin_and_yang)*, which connotes a negative quality due to its association with darkness. Yam O was likely named for its location being *shaded* from sunlight by the mountain.
