Hong Kong Railway Museum

Housed in the former Tai Po Market train station, built in 1913 in traditional Chinese style, this museum is sure to appeal to train anoraks and young boys in particular. Exhibits, including a narrow-gauge steam locomotive dating back to 1911, detail the history of the development of rail transport in the territory. There is also much attention paid to the opening of the Kowloon–Canton Railway in 1910 and its original terminus in Tsim Sha Tsui, which moved to Hung Hong in 1975. You can get to the museum most easily by alighting at Tai Wo MTR East Rail station, walking south through the Tai Wo Shopping Centre and housing estate, and crossing the Lam Tsuen River via Tai Wo Bridge (the small one with the Chinese roof) leading from Po Nga Rd. The museum is just southeast.
