There is a large bus and minibus interchange above the station, connecting it with most residential areas, factories, and shopping centres in the area.

Additional MTR property development on nearby lands such as City Point and Pavilion Bay also commenced circa 2014.

History The construction of the station was very complex. It required the diversion of some roads, the demolition of two factories, part of a nearby park, and the relocation of a ferry pier which originally occupied the site. The station was designed by Farrells. The waterfront promenade built along with the station's construction connected the two ends of Tsuen Wan, significantly improved the scenery of the area, and provided a leisure place for many residents of southern and western Tsuen Wan.
