Distance between each station on Tung Chung Line is relatively long. So, it's easily expected that there would be new intermediate stations between current stations. But, I couldn't expect that there would be extension beyond Tung Chung, the current terminus. There still seems to be demand for houses in such a remote area from downtown.
