Tsim Sha Tsui station exits: which exit takes you where

An exit is listed here only where an operator names it for a place, or where the operator lists a lift or ramp at it. Walking minutes are the operator's own figures. Where no operator publishes a time, no time is given.

The exits are below: Tsim Sha Tsui station first, then East Tsim Sha Tsui station, each with the destination the operator names it for, the operator's walking time where one exists and what the operator publishes about step-free access to the street. For the journey to Tsim Sha Tsui itself, see how to get to Tsim Sha Tsui.

Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui are two different stations

Tsim Sha Tsui station is on the Tsuen Wan line. East Tsim Sha Tsui station is on the Tuen Ma line.

They are two separate stations, with separate entry and exit ticket gates.

Fare rules for changing between the two stations:

How you paid	Changing between Tsim Sha Tsui and East Tsim Sha Tsui
Octopus	If you are changing between them on an Octopus card, you must do so within 30 minutes of arriving at either station.
Contactless bank card or QR code	If you are paying with a contactless bank card or a QR code, the two legs are charged as two separate trips — the 30-minute rule does not apply.
Single Journey Ticket	With a Single Journey Ticket you need a second ticket: the first is captured by the exit gate at the station you arrive at.
City Saver	With a City Saver, no extra journey is deducted if you interchange within 30 minutes; over 30 minutes, two journeys are deducted.

Which exits have a lift or a ramp

Step-free from the street to the concourse at Tsim Sha Tsui: Exit A1 (MTR lift); Exits H and R (lifts inside iSQUARE, a non-MTR-managed facility). No other exit at Tsim Sha Tsui has a lift or a ramp: Exit E is stairs only, and Exits A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1 and D2 connect to the concourse by one escalator and stairs.

Step-free from the street to the concourse at East Tsim Sha Tsui: Exit J (ramp); Exits K, L4, N1, P1, P2 and P3 (MTR lifts); Exit N4 (lift in a non-MTR-managed facility).

These exits connect to the concourse by stairs or a single escalator: Tsim Sha Tsui Exits A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D1, D2 and E; East Tsim Sha Tsui Exits L1, L3, N2 and N5.

MTR publishes no lift or ramp at Tsim Sha Tsui Exit D3 or East Tsim Sha Tsui Exits J1, J2 and J3.

^† MTR's barrier-free facilities page lists a lift at East Tsim Sha Tsui Exit N1 (read 6 November 2026); the Government's annex of 30 November 2022 lists N1 among the exits with only stairs to the concourse.

Where the operator publishes no walking time

For the Tsim Sha Tsui Promenade, the Star Ferry pier, Kowloon Park, The Peninsula, Nathan Road and the History and Science museums, the operator publishes no walking time from any exit, so none is given here.

The Avenue of Stars is 'just a few minutes' walk' from East Tsim Sha Tsui Exit J — Avenue of Stars' wording, not a number.
