Nam Cheong Location within the MTR system

Nam Cheong (Chinese: 南昌) is a MTR interchange station located at ground level beneath West Kowloon Highway, in Sham Shui Po, Hong Kong opposite the Fu Cheong Estate. It is served by the Tung Chung Line and West Rail Line and provides cross-platform interchange between platform 1 (West Rail Line towards Tuen Mun) and platform 4 (Tung Chung Line towards Hong Kong). The livery of Nam Cheong Station is pale yellow green.

Nam Cheong Station was originally the southern terminus of the West Rail Line before the opening of Kowloon Southern Link on 16 August 2009. The Airport Express passes between the tracks of the Tung Chung Line without stopping at this station. A public transport interchange, located to the east of the station, allows for transfers to other modes of public transport. Architecture firm Aedas designed Nam Cheong Station.

Although this station is on ground level, platform screen doors are fitted.

Nam Cheong Station was called Yen Chow Street Station (after Yen Chow Street, a major thoroughfare in the area) in its planning stage. The station was subsequently renamed "Nam Cheong" after Nam Cheong Estate, a nearby public housing estate, which in turn is named after Nam Cheong Street (another thoroughfare). Nam Cheong Street was named after Mr. Chan Nam Cheong (), a local philanthropist. As "Nam Cheong" is also the Cantonese-based transliteration for Nanchang, some sources mistakenly state that the station was named after the mainland Chinese city.
