The ultimate dream for railway enthusiasts! Visit two railway museums in one day!

If you're a railway fan wanting to visit two museum exhibitions in one day, you must save this now! If you want to spend more time taking photos, you can split your visit between the two different railway museums in the morning and afternoon. Tai Po Railway Museum, formerly the old Tai Po Market Station built in 1913, still preserves the station perfectly, full of historical atmosphere. The traditional architectural style of the station, combined with exquisite roof decorations and brick walls, adds a strong cultural vibe to the whole environment. Inside the old Tai Po Market Station building, there are many exhibits with detailed explanations of the railway's various operations. Outside the building, there are several retired trains for visitors to climb on and take photos. What impressed me most was the old carriage with wooden benches, exuding the simplicity and elegance of a bygone era. Every exhibit tells the story of how the railway connected communities and propelled Hong Kong's development. After enjoying lunch, take the MTR to Hung Hom Station to visit the "Station View" railway exhibition and experience another part of railway history. A memorable highlight of the exhibition is the chance to get up close to the first-generation electric trains again; the orange seats bring back memories of past train rides.
