context_page_description: Admiralty is a Mass Transit Railway (MTR) station located on Hong Kong Island, in an area often referred to as Admiralty. The station's livery is blue, white and yellow. The station connects the Tsuen Wan line with the Island line
  and the South Island line. Before the opening of the Tsuen Wan branch line in 1982, it was part of the Kwun Tong line.
  The station and the region are named after HMS Tamar, once the headquarters of the Royal Navy in Hong Kong – this, even though HMS Tamar had never actually been called the Admiralty. It was built on the former site of the Hong Kong naval dockyards, which was built in 1878 and demolished in the 1970s. The Chinese name, which translates to 'Golden Bell', refers to a gold-coloured bell that was used for timekeeping at Wellington Barracks.
  In 2011 to 2016, the station underwent major expansion to accommodate two new sets of platforms underneath the original structure to serve two more MTR lines, the South Island line and the East Rail line. The East Rail line platform will not open until 2021, with the commencement of the second phase of the Sha Tin to Central Link.
