'''Long Ping''' ({{zh|t=朗屏}}) is an [[MTR]] {{lnl|MTR|tml}} [[List of MTR stations|station]] located in the northern part of [[Yuen Long Town]] to the southeast of [[Long Ping Estate]], in the [[New Territories]] of Hong Kong. The station is elevated over [[Yuen Long Nullah]].

There are two public transport interchanges on the northeast and south sides of the station. There is also cycle parking nearby. A network of footbridges connects the station to Long Ping Estate, Yuen Long Plaza and other nearby housing estates.

==History==
Long Ping and Yuen Long stations were built under a combined contract, numbered CC-202, which was awarded to the [[Amec Foster Wheeler|AMEC]]-Hong Kong Construction Joint Venture. The contract, worth HK$1.76 billion, commenced in September 1999. A topping-out ceremony for both stations was held on 24 May 2002.<ref name="allkcr">{{cite web |title=All KCR West Rail stations in the New Territories topped out |url=http://www.kcrc.com/en/announcements/2002/020524.html |publisher=Kowloon–Canton Railway Corporation |date=24 May 2002}}</ref>

The station opened on 20 December 2003 with the inauguration of the West Rail.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.odysseymediagroup.com/apn/Editorial-Rail.asp?ReportID=73740|title=Hong Kong's West Rail Officially Opens|work=Odyssey Media Group|date=20 December 2003|access-date=24 April 2021}}</ref>

On 27 June 2021, the [[Kowloon–Canton Railway|KCR]] {{lnl|MTR|wrl}} officially merged with the {{lnl|MTR|MOS}} (which was already extended into the ''Tuen Ma line Phase 1'' at the time) in [[East Kowloon]] to form the new {{lnl|MTR|tml}}, as part of the [[Sha Tin to Central Link|Shatin to Central link]] project. Hence, Long Ping was included in the project and is now an intermediate station on the Tuen Ma line.
