HKU is a station on the Hong Kong MTR Island Line located in the Shek Tong Tsui neighbourhood of the Western District, Hong Kong. It is named after The University of Hong Kong, which is also served by the station. Part of the West Island Line, a westward extension to the existing Island Line, HKU Station opened on 28 December 2014 along with Kennedy Town Station. As of its opening, HKU Station is the largest and deepest station in the MTR network.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.timeout.com.hk/big-smog/features/57684/the-mtrs-new-west-island-line.html )〕 ==Naming disputes== There were disputes among locals and district councillors over the station's name. Some suggested to restore the previous official name "Belcher" (寶翠, , bou2 ceoi3) after The Belcher's, a housing development in the area, as well as Belcher Street and Belcher Bay. Some believed that the MTR Corporation's decision to change the name to "University" was not well consulted within the community, while others worried that it might cause confusion with another existing University Station on the East Rail Line. Some also suggested "Shek Tong Tsui", after the area the station would serve. In August 2009, MTR named the station "Hong Kong University".〔(Construction of the MTR West Island Line Project Commenced ), MTR Corporation.〕 The latest revision changed the English name to "HKU",〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Official website of West Island Line )〕 the abbreviation of the nearby University of Hong Kong. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HKU Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
