[2025 Hong Kong Attraction] Travel Guide for Hong Kong Railway Museum (Updated Apr)

Hong Kong Railway Museum reopens on October 4th, exhibiting the new collection No. 60 diesel-electric locomotive The Hong Kong Railway Museum has completed the exhibition renovation project and will reopen to the public for free admission (October 4th), and exhibit its latest collection No. 60 diesel-electric locomotive - "Joe Petty". 　　Diesel-electric locomotive No. 60 has been in service since 1974. It is one of the last batch of diesel locomotives introduced to Hong Kong by the Kowloon-Canton Railway. It has been in service on the East Rail Line and witnessed the golden age of railway freight between Hong Kong and the Mainland. After the Kowloon-Canton Railway was fully electrified in 1983, locomotive No. 60 was withdrawn from passenger service, but was still used to pull freight trucks and engineering vehicles. It is the last locomotive in Hong Kong to be named after a person, and was named "Peter Quick" after the second general manager of the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation. After serving Hong Kong for nearly half a century, locomotive No. 60 was officially retired in 2021. The train was earlier transferred by the MTR Corporation Limited (MTR) to the Hong Kong Railway Museum for permanent collection and exhibition, with the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD)'s Conservation Office assisting in supervising the restoration work. Speaking at the handover ceremony on October 3, the Director of Leisure and Cultural Services, Mr Lau Ming-kwong, said that the Railway Museum had once again added a large railway artifact after receiving historic carriage No. 313 in 2020, which was great news for train fans and the general public. It is believed that locomotive No. 60 will further increase the public's interest in the historical development of local railways. Other officiating guests at the ceremony included MTR Managing Director – Hong Kong Passenger Services Ms. Jennifer Yeung, MTR Director of Operations and Innovation Dr. Kevin Lee, Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation Company Secretary Mr. Wong Chung-leung and Hong Kong Heritage Museum Chief Curator Mr. Lam Kwok-fai. Locomotive No. 60 is mainly made of metal materials. Due to long-term exposure to outdoor environment during service, the iron parts will inevitably rust and paint peel off. Before being stationed at the Railway Museum, restoration experts from the Heritage Conservation Office carried out restoration work on Locomotive No. 60 at the MTR Locomotive Operation Room in Lo Wu to re-coat it with a protective coating to slow down the rusting of the metal body when on outdoor display. To complement this precious and historically significant new exhibit, the museum provides visitors with multimedia exhibit information through the Leisure and Cultural Services Department’s “Smart Museum” mobile app, bringing the public a richer and more interesting museum experience. This year also marks the 110th anniversary of the construction of the Old Tai Po Market Railway Station, the original site of the Hong Kong Railway Museum. The Railway Museum specially presents the "Building and Carrying People's Feelings - 110th Anniversary of the Old Tai Po Market Railway Station" exhibition, hoping to showcase the history and development of the Old Tai Po Market Railway Station, as well as the relationship between the station and the Tai Po community through precious historical pictures from different institutions. Citizens can recall the memories of riding the railway in the past through the pictures. In addition to the newly added collection of diesel-electric locomotive No. 60, the Hong Kong Railway Museum also has other special collections, including Hong Kong's first diesel-electric locomotive No. 51, a narrow-gauge steam locomotive that once ran on the Sha Tau Kok branch line, and many historical carriages from different eras. Railway enthusiasts should not miss it. The Hong Kong Railway Museum is located at 13 Chong Tak Street, Tai Po Market, Tai Po, Hong Kong. #HongKongRailwayMuseum #OldTaiPoMarketTrainStation #goodplacetodischarge #discharge #goodplaceforfamily #familytravelonholiday #localtravel #goodplacesinhongkong #goodplacesonweekdays #goodplacesonweekends #goodplaces #localfamilytravel #familytravel #family #familyactivity #check-inattraction #check-in #hklifestyle #hkdaily #hkiger #hkig #hongkong #hk #instadaily #travelhk #discoverhk #explorehongkong #exploringhongkong #discoverhongkong #awesomehongkong

🚂🏛️🕰️The Hong Kong Railway Museum is a place that makes people feel like traveling through time, displaying the rich railway history and culture. When I stepped into the museum, I was immediately attracted by its nostalgic architecture. This building preserves many old train carriages and equipment, allowing me to feel the evolution and changes in the development of railways. 🏛️👀🚆 The exhibits in the museum are very rich and diverse, and I can appreciate the train vehicles and accessories from various periods up close. Some of the train carriages were so well preserved that I could step inside and be transported back to the old days of railroading. This gave me a deeper understanding of the history and craftsmanship of trains. Moreover, the museum has some interactive displays that allowed me to experience what it’s like to drive a train, which was a really unique experience! 🚂👨‍🔧🎮 In addition to train vehicles, the museum displays many railroad-related artifacts and exhibits. I saw some old tickets, timetables, traffic lights, etc. These small items were full of nostalgic atmosphere. Through these exhibits, I can gain a deeper understanding of the role of railway transportation in the development and daily life of Hong Kong! 🎡 #Greater Bay Area Attractions #Hong Kong Railway Museum #WeekendTrip

This restaurant is very famous in Tai Po. I came here once before but couldn't eat without a booking🙁. This time book a seat and come early to eat, it's already full by around 7pm🤫! Its dinner is good, a main course with appetizers and drinks are 148, some options have to pay extra. For appetizers, I chose a slow-cooked chicken breast Caesar salad🥗 and a rich soup (mushroom soup)🍄, which were served in soup bowls, so the salad portion felt a bit small, but the chicken was tender and tasted good, and the mushroom soup was quite strong. For the main course, I chose this black truffle porcini cheese pizza. The pizza is not bread pizza texture🍕, but very thin and crispy. There are a lot of mushrooms on top 🍄🍄, and they are very fragrant, plus the cheese is baked until crispy and delicious 🧀. Hong Cheng Wagyu burger can choose how mature 🍔, we selected 70%, so the inside is still a bit pink, quite fragrant beef flavor. The burger is very thick and very eye-catching. Coupled with fresh tomatoes 🍅, salad vegetables and fried onions 🧅, it feels quite fresh, it would be better if there was more sauce. There are 6 honey Grapefruit Crispy Fried Chicken Wings🐔, which are relatively thin fried skin, quite crispy, the chicken inside still has juice dripping out. There is a layer of honey grapefruit sauce on top. It tastes sour and not too greasy, but eating slowly will make the skin soft. This place is quite good overall, and the decor is quite special. I saw someone at the next table celebrating a birthday🎂, in addition to ordering dessert can write, there are also fairy wands🕯, sparkling wine and instant free🥂, next time come here to celebrate is good. 📍Homeland G/F, 2 Tung Chang Street, Tai Po #familygoods #foodie #cafe #hkfoodie #hkfood #hongkongfood

It was my first time to visit the Hong Kong Railway Museum. I was very excited because most of my life has been spent in the New Territories, and trains have really been part of my life growing up. Admission to the museum is free and the location is easy to get to. The entire station was rebuilt from the old Tai Po Market Railway Station and retains many old buildings and items, which are quite precious. The exhibition hall also provides a detailed introduction to the transportation history of Hong Kong railways. The most special ones are of course several train cars of considerable historical value. The first diesel locomotive introduced in 1955 is definitely worth a visit. #Train Station Museum #Local Tours #Hong Kong Places to Visit

Sometimes I feel that Tai Po is a rather magical place. It has many popular restaurants as well as places with high consumption. It is difficult to describe the fun of mingle among them in a few words. I have never noticed the name Munch Now, but I have actually been there many times. Many years ago, a friend took me there for croissants, and I went there for lunch afterwards, but I was always in a hurry... It was not until I wanted to write something that I remembered that there was a name. It is not Brunch, not Lunch. Looking up the dictionary, Munch means to chew with big mouthfuls. The name of the store is probably "Let's chew with big mouthfuls now!" It should not be a sophisticated restaurant. The wine, oysters, and steak have the meaning of enjoying life while you can and living in the present. The restaurant is located in an old street, sandwiched between a flower shop and a butcher stall, an interesting place! We returned to the old place, and it still had floor-to-ceiling glass doors, but the outside was filled with menus. We visited in the afternoon that day, so it should have been tea time. From the poster outside the door, we saw that there was a three-tier tea set. When we went inside, there were a lot of sundries, which didn't match the stylish decoration. We suddenly lost the atmosphere and mood for a three-tier afternoon tea, so we ordered a normal afternoon tea meal. The grilled cheese and eel croissant, this strange combination makes people want to try it. However, if you don’t look carefully, you may not taste the eel. The first thing you think of when eating a croissant is jam, and when it is sandwiched with cheese, you think of ham. As a result, the quantity is not too much. The eel is like a ninja, and it is delicious with a sense of loss. The special drink mango smoothie is also good. For another afternoon tea, I tried some ordinary fried chicken...it tasted like a combination of tea and stylish Western food. The chicken chop was crispy and hot, and the plate it came in was originally owned by the restaurant. On the narrow dining table, there was a pair of special-shaped condiment bottles. One could imagine the original positioning of the restaurant, but it had a strange label... wavering between a tea house and stylish Western food, how will this path go? Overall, the food is good, the environment and service are just so-so, and the price is between Cha Kee and Stylish Western Restaurant. Considering the quality of the food, it is still acceptable.

Not to mention, the original Fanling-Sha Tau Kok branch line was officially opened in 1912. It is 7.25 miles long and has three stops in the middle. Passengers need to crowd on uncovered cars and face the sun and rain. With the completion of the Sha Tau Kok Highway, this branch line was officially closed after only 17 years of operation. It was propelled by narrow-gauge steam locomotives, but the locomotives ceased operation soon after the branch line closed. Today, this meaningful locomotive is on display in the Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po Market, and there are several exhibition halls and train car exhibits in the museum, detailing the history of railway development over the years, which is really eye-opening. #MuseumRecommendations #HongKongGood Places #LocalTour

The Hong Kong Railway Museum in the center of Tai Po City is not very large, but it covers an area of ​​6,500 square meters. The old railway station building was built in 1913 in the style of traditional Chinese architecture. It was listed as a statutory monument in 1984. After restoration, the museum was opened to the public free of charge in 1985. The first time I visited, I felt it was an eye-opener. It was a bit like Taiwan's Jiufen and Shifen, because there were many exhibits that were not from this era, which allowed the younger generation to better understand the history of railway development. When I visited the interior of an old train, I realized that there were so many different levels of carriages in the past. The most impressive thing was of course the super soft seats in the first class. #Train fans must go #Train Station Museum

The Hong Kong Railway Museum in Tai Po was rebuilt from the old Tai Po Market Railway Station. As soon as you enter the entrance, you can see the distinctive Tai Po Market Railway Station (1913), with its unique traditional Chinese pyramid-shaped design. The indoor exhibition hall introduces the history of Hong Kong's railway transportation. The most eye-catching part, of course, is that the museum preserves old carriages, motorized engineering carriages, the first diesel locomotive, narrow-gauge steam locomotives, etc., which are no longer seen in Hong Kong today. You can check in as many times as you want in different carriages, but unfortunately the museum is not very large and you can basically complete the visit in half an hour. Address: 13 Chong Tak Street, Tai Po Tickets: Free admission #LocalTour #Museum #FreeExhibition

Its predecessor was the Tai Po Market Railway Station built in 1913. Its boarding and waiting areas have very ancient Chinese designs, and it is a platform with a sense of history. Moreover, admission to the internal exhibition hall is free, but unfortunately it is closed due to the epidemic. There are a total of seven historical carriages preserved outside, including a one-to-one real train and Sir Alexander's No. 51 train, but you cannot go inside to visit it, but you can take photos with it. Another green train was quietly parked by the roadside. The old rails were paved with stones, and the clear sunlight shone on the mottled walls. The carriage could not be entered due to the epidemic, but it was enough to just take pictures from outside! #2022Exhibitions #LocalTours #GreatPlacesInTaiPo #GreatPlacesInTheCountryside #GreatPlacesInSummer #GreatPlacesInHongKong #GreatPlacesForFamilies
