“A museum that lies mostly outdoors displays a few of the old trains which you’re allowed to enter. A nice place to spend an hour or two. Free of charge.”

“Not a big museum, but worth visiting if you are already in the area. You can walk inside and sit down in a few old decommissioned carriages from decades ago. Photos are allowed but video is forbidden.”

“One hour is probably enough to visit this small museum. It's an informative experience, featuring interesting documentaries, facts, and introductions about the history and development of Hong Kong's railway and MTR. The exhibitions include retired trains that visitors can enter, allowing them to experience the past and take pictures. The museum staff are welcoming, with some even volunteering to take pictures for visitors.”
