The station is located between [[Sunny Bay station]] and [[Lai King station]] on the Tung Chung Line, and between [[Airport station (MTR)|Airport station]] and [[Kowloon station (MTR)|Kowloon station]] on the Airport Express. The station’s colour scheme on the Tung Chung line platforms is dull teal, and Foster grey on the Airport Express platforms. Tsing Yi station is connected to a major interchange for [[bus]]es and [[maxicab]]s, situated adjacent to the station, which serves as a public transport hub for the [[New Territories]]. It is located within the [[Maritime Square]] shopping centre.

== History == The station, built as part of the Lantau Airport Railway project, was constructed between December 1994 and March 1998 by Japanese contractor [[Maeda Corporation]].<ref name="maeda">{{cite web |title=Hong Kong Office |url=https://www.maeda.co.jp/english/achievements/hongkong.html |publisher=Maeda Corporation |accessdate=13 May 2020}}</ref>

Tsing Yi station opened together with the Tung Chung Line on 22 June 1998. The Airport Express services commenced at the station two weeks later on 6 July.

== Location ==

Tsing Yi station is located in the northeastern quarter of [[Tsing Yi|the island of the same name]], slightly to the west of Kowloon and mainland Hong Kong. To the west is Tsing Yi Town Park, while the Tsing Yi Sports Ground lies to the south. Otherwise, much of the area is residential with a number of educational establishments nearby.<ref name="map">{{MTRsource|map|tsy|Tsing Yi|27 March 2015}}</ref>

=== Transit-oriented development ===

As with other MTR stations, Tsing Yi is a prime site for [[transit-oriented development]] by the MTR Corporation, whose properties division develops land above and in the vicinity of its stations. Owing to its ideal location between Kowloon and Lantau Island, MTR Properties has heavily invested in commercial and residential development around Tsing Yi, the most prominent of this investment being Maritime Square, a large shopping centre extending from the station, and the residential estate [[Maritime Square|Tierra Verde]], which lies on top of the station. Maritime Square contains {{cvt|46170|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} of retail space, while the Tierra Verde complex comprises twelve residential towers and a total of 3,500 flats.<ref name="tod">[http://www.mtr.com.hk/eng/properties/prop_dev_ty.html Tsing Yi station development] ''MTR Properties'' Retrieved 2011-03-01</ref>

== Morning Express service ==

The MTR offers Morning Express services to allow passengers to take the Airport Express from Tsing Yi to [[Hong Kong station]]. Passengers can access this service by using their Octopus card at dedicated gates for [[Hong Kong dollar|HK$]]25. This offer is available daily from 7 am to 10 am except on Sundays and public holidays.

== Station layout ==

The station has four storeys above ground level. The ground floor has a taxi stand outside and has access to the concourse on the first floor. The concourse is integrated with the [[Maritime Square]] shopping centre. The second level houses the Tung Chung line platform for trains heading for [[Hong Kong station]], and the third floor houses the Tung Chung line platform for services towards [[Tung Chung station]]. At the Airport Express departure and arrival platforms, there is a free [[WiFi]] hotspot available. Unlike at Kowloon and Hong Kong stations, in-town check-in facilities and free Airport Express shuttle buses are not available at this station.

The Airport Express and Tung Chung line platforms are separated with a different paid area for both. Passengers changing between two lines must go downstairs and past through floor U1, and then go upstairs again. In Tsing Yi station, the four platforms are constructed in a stacked arrangement, with platforms 1 and 3 above platforms 2 and 4. Platform 2 is only used by passengers coming from [[Hong Kong International Airport]] or {{STN|AsiaWorld–Expo|x}} to disembark, except between 7 am and 10 am on Mondays to Saturdays, when Morning Express services are available.
