China News Service, May 9. According to Hong Kong's Sing Tao.com report, the cross-sea section of the Hong Kong East Rail Line opened to traffic on the 15th of this month, and the new station exhibition station was opened on the same day.
The MTR held an open day for the convention and exhibition station on the 9th, with a total of 5,600 places set up in 7 time slots, and it was immediately sold out when it was distributed free of charge through the mobile app a few days ago.
On the 9th, citizens who grabbed admission tickets entered the station on time to visit, and many parents brought their children to the scene.
The World War II bullet casings displayed in the station have become a popular "spot" for visitors.
Some railway fans pointed out that the new stations opened by the MTR in recent years are all designed with mosaic and calligraphy characters, which is similar to expectations. He also described the bomb casings on display as a good punching position, because the bomb casings also witness the history of Hong Kong.
Some railway fans pointed out that the Tuen Ma Line was very unforgettable when it opened to traffic earlier, and they are looking forward to the opening of the sea crossing line. They said that crossing the sea will be more convenient in the future, and there will be no need to take the tunnel bus to get stuck in the Hong Kong Tunnel, so they will try to take the sea crossing line. The first train is to commemorate, and there will be no new railway lines in Hong Kong in a short period of time, so we must seize the opportunity.
According to reports, the design of the convention and exhibition station follows the MTR station paper stone mosaic style, with green mixed with gray as the main color, symbolizing the color of the sea water in the Victoria Harbour in front of the station.
The station also holds a historical photo exhibition on the platform to commemorate the centenary of the extension of the railway to Hong Kong Island.
The MTR also displayed a wartime bomb on another platform of the Convention and Exhibition Station.
During the construction of the station, the engineering team successively discovered three World War II bombs on the site, which were dismantled and removed by the Police Explosive Ordnance Disposal Section.
The platform shows the case of one of the bombs.
