Tsuen Wan · Hong Kong
PeeringDB records no internet exchange in Tsuen Wan and three colocation facilities holding 239 network presences. Equinix HK1 accounts for 188 of them, with Equinix HK3 at 45 and the HKBN Cable TV Tower Data Centre at six. An address that geolocates to Tsuen Wan reflects a registration rather than a device location.
Colocation facilities
Buildings where networks put equipment. The network count is how many PeeringDB members list a presence there, which shows where capacity in the city sits.
| Facility | Networks present | Address |
|---|---|---|
| Equinix HK1 - Hong Kong | 188 | 17/F Global Gateway (Hong Kong) 168 Yeung Uk Road |

What a Tsuen Wan IP address tells you
Tsuen Wan appears in PeeringDB as colocation rather than public peering. No exchange has a peering LAN recorded in the district, so all 239 network presences sit inside three buildings, and Equinix HK1 holds 188 of them by itself. Equinix HK3 records 45 and the HKBN Cable TV Tower Data Centre records six. Networks in these buildings still exchange traffic, over private cross connects or by reaching exchange fabrics elsewhere, but PeeringDB does not record that against Tsuen Wan. The carrier registry holds no Hong Kong mobile operator ASNs, so no carrier peering can be shown here.
An address that geolocates to Tsuen Wan usually reflects paperwork. An operator announces the block from a registry record carrying one administrative address, and that address often points at an office or a data centre rather than at the customer using the block. Mobile traffic stretches the gap wider, because subscribers exit through a handful of gateways that serve the whole territory. Geolocation databases then repeat the location the operator publishes, which is how a district of 239 network presences ends up labelling addresses used far from it.
Someone checking a Tsuen Wan address should read the routing data instead of the label. The origin ASN announcing the prefix and the netname on that block say who is responsible for it, and the size of the announcement says how much ground it covers. A prefix registered to a nationwide operator carries no district-level meaning. The facility records here describe which networks keep equipment in Tsuen Wan, and that is a different question from where any given address is in use.
Questions
Which internet exchanges are in Tsuen Wan?
None. PeeringDB records no exchange peering LAN in Tsuen Wan. The district's network presence is colocation: three facilities holding 239 networks between them, with Equinix HK1 at 188, Equinix HK3 at 45 and the HKBN Cable TV Tower Data Centre at six.
Do Hong Kong mobile carriers peer in Tsuen Wan?
The registry cannot say. It holds no mobile operator ASNs for Hong Kong, and Tsuen Wan has no exchange whose participant list could be checked. Any peering by the networks in these three facilities happens privately and is not published in this data.
Does an IP that geolocates to Tsuen Wan mean the device is there?
No. It means a network announces that block and has published a Tsuen Wan address for the registration. The equipment or subscriber behind the address can be anywhere the announcing operator carries traffic, in Hong Kong or beyond it.
