Cotai East station (Chinese: 路氹東站; Portuguese: Estação Cotai Leste) is a station on Taipa line of the Macau Light Rapid Transit, mainly serving tourists and staff due to its proximity to multiple casino resorts including Wynn Palace, Londoner Macao, and City of Dreams.

History

[edit]

In the original plan this station is named East Zone of Cotai station (Chinese: 路氹城東站; Portuguese: Estação Zona Este do Cotai). Building work of this and three other stations in Cotai began in 2012.[1] Although completed in 2016, the opening of the station was delayed due to ongoing work at Taipa line train depot.

The station opened on 10 December 2019 along with the Taipa line.[2] The bridge linking Grand Hyatt Macau and Wynn Palace opened in advance in May 2019.[3]

Station layout

[edit]

Two side platforms are on the second floor, and ticket hall is located on the first floor.
