The original KCR plans had the station near the intersection of Sung Wong Toi Road and
To Kwa Wan Road in the old
Kai Tak Airport tarmac, but the location was moved nearer to the junction of to leave wan and Sung Wong Toi Road. The location will be roughly at the western end of the former
Kai Tak Airport terminal footprint and the start of runway 13/31, which today has become the western part of the
Kai Tak Development area.
Naming This station is located geographically closer to
Ma Tau Chung than
To Kwa Wan. During the planning and construction phases, "To Kwa Wan" was originally chosen for this station and "Ma Tau Wai" for
the adjacent station, which is in To Kwa Wan. In a proposed network map announced by the MTR to the public on September 23, 2017, the station's name was updated to that of the nearby landmark,
Sung Wong Toi, a significant historical site from the
Song dynasty era of
Emperor Duanzong. On November 27, 2017, the
Transport and Housing Bureau confirmed that the names of both stations had been finalized. These names were chosen to address public feedback on geographical accuracy, the historical importance of the monument, and the blending of railway structures with the local community. ==Archaeological discovery==
