I’ve been taking the light rail for over 30 years, I have had a variety of experiences When travelling on the Light Rail. I Remember going to the Hoh Fuk Tong stop with my parents and getting a treat after having a bad haircut..
My Friends and I used to take the Light Rail, and make bets on football matches with snacks, I got butterflies when I first held my girlfriend’s hand on the light rail.. We still travel around on the Light Rail to discover and explore new places…
Every stop I pass, gives me exclusive and unique memories. The different people and scenery I see make even ordinary journeys exciting and special ones. Every encounter brings more discoveries and place to explore.. So, How’s your Light rail journey.. ?

The eclipse this time is a hybrid solar eclipse. In addition to the partial solar eclipse, there are some places on Earth where a total solar eclipse or annular solar eclipse can be observed.

To set the tone for this exciting “Journey of Discovery”, we have transformed the passenger elevator at the heart of Terminal 1 into a crystal facade that opens to reveal eight digital works related to Hong Kong, travel and cheeky fun. The works include a paper craft rendition of the city from sunrise to sunset in “Hong Kong Journey”; an animated crossover between Hong Kong characters 癲噹 DinDong, 大泥 Bigsoil and 文地貓 Mandycat in “Claw & Catch”; and a glimpse into the deep blue world of wonder in “The Aquarium”.

Expect pleasant surprises when you interact with the waterfall, creek and pond within a multimedia ecosystem! The “Totems of Joy” at the Central Concourse boarding gates have also been installed with selfie-worthy evolving content.
