  • Hung Hom Station to Transform Into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line
    PR040/21 7 June 2021 Hung Hom Station to Transform into an Upgraded Interchange Hub New Interchange Arrangements for the East Rail Line and West Rail Line The new Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) platform at Hung Hom Station (“HUH”) will be opened on 20 June 2021 (Sunday), i.e. one week before the commissioning of TML, and new interchange arrangements for the West Rail Line (“WRL”) and the East Rail Line (“EAL”) will be in place on the same day. A series of upgrading works, including the construction of new platforms, have been implemented at HUH to cope with the full opening of the TML, as well as the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL. The new platforms will be put into service in phases according to the progress of the two projects. While the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL is still under construction, upon the opening of the new TML platform at HUH, passengers have to pass through the concourse to reach the existing EAL platform and the WRL (future TML) platform for changing between EAL and WRL (future TML) at HUH. (Please refer to annex for details). Passengers will have to follow the new interchange arrangements until the commissioning of the Cross-Harbour Section of EAL and the full launch of the new two-level platforms at HUH. By then passengers will be taking the EAL and TML at the new platforms. “Signage with colours corresponding to the relevant rail lines will be installed to direct passengers to the platforms they want to go to. We will also deploy additional staff, put up notices and make public announcements to assist and remind passengers of the new arrangements.

  • Of Kowloon's Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses
    ART RESEARCH SPECIAL ISSUE vol.1 Of Kowloon’s Uncrowned Kings and True Recluses: Commemoration, Trace, and Erasure, and the Shaping of a Hong-Kong-topia Of Kowloon Of from Chen Botao (1855–1930) to Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007) Shao-Lan Hertel (Tsinghua University Art Museum) E-mail: [email protected] ’ s Uncrowned Kings and Recluses: True Commemoration, and Trace, Erasure, and the Shaping of a abstract Whether as political exile for yimin-loyalists of the Qing dynasty, migrant destination for Chinese Mainlanders seeking work, or global hub for cultural exchangesthe topia of Hong Kong can be defined as both periphery and center; moreover: “The significance of Hong Kong art from the perspective of twentieth-century China is its identity as the exception” (Tsong-zung Johnson Chang). While the specificity of Hong Kong art lies in its intrinsically heterotopic condition, defying any fixed definition or essentialist narrative, an overarching recurrence within art discourse is a distinct sense of place and time; a consciousness that has shaped Hong Kong identity in the collective imagination over time. Against this backdrop, this essay explores the art-historical, -geographical, and -political landscape of Hong Kong through the lens of local artists active from the early twentieth century on, focusing on Tsang Tsou-choi (1921–2007), the “King of Kowloon,” known for his once ubiquitous street graffiti calligraphy marking the public spaces of Hong Kong; and further, literati-poet Chen Botao (1855–1930), the self-proclaimed “True Recluse of Kowloon,” who founded a loyalist tradition of “Exile Poetics” based on Song-dynasty poetry.

    Task Force on Kai Tak Harbourfront Development For information TFKT/02/2018 on 29 March 2018 Kai Tak Development Progress Report as of February 2018 PURPOSE This report updates Members on the general progress of Kai Tak Development (KTD). BACKGROUND 2. KTD, covering an area of over 320 hectares, is a mega-sized and highly complex development project in the urban area offering a unique opportunity for transforming the ex-airport site for the future growth of Hong Kong, and at the same time providing an impetus for stimulating regeneration of the adjoining older districts. It also forms part of the Energizing Kowloon East initiative of transforming the industrial areas at Kowloon Bay and Kwun Tong together with KTD into another Core Business District (CBD). A master development plan1 was drawn up in early 2009 for the phased implementation of KTD projects. KTD has already witnessed the completion of various projects starting from 2013. CURRENT SITUATION 3. Given the scale and complexity of KTD, the project is being implemented in phases. Projects and development includes the Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Building and its two berths, Kai Tak Fire Station cum Ambulance Depot, public rental housing, Trade and Industry Tower, two primary schools, Kai Tak Cruise Terminal Park, Kwun Tong Promenade, Runway Park Phase I, Phase 1 improvement works at Kai Tak Approach Channel and Kwun Tong Typhoon Shelter, early phases of District Cooling System (DCS) and associated infrastructure works, all of which have been 1 Please refer to Legislative Council paper No. CB(1)570/08-09(03) for discussion at the Panel on Development on 20 January 2009.

  • Full Tuen Ma Line Sets to Connect the East and West of the New Territories Bringing Kowloon City and to Kwa Wan Into the Railway Network
    PR046/21 26 June 2021 Full Tuen Ma Line Sets to Connect the East and West of the New Territories Bringing Kowloon City and To Kwa Wan into the Railway Network The full Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) will commence service tomorrow (27 June 2021), ushering in a new phase of railway transportation in Hong Kong, with the east and west ends of the New Territories being connected by a single line. Accompanied by Chairman of MTR Corporation Dr Rex Auyeung, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Mrs Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor, GBM, GBS, today (26 June 2021) officiated at the TML launch in Sung Wong Toi Station, where she also unveiled the in-station exhibition of relics discovered during the excavation for the station. The full TML sees the extension of the existing TML Phase 1 from Kai Tak Station to Hung Hom Station via two newly-built stations, Sung Wong Toi and To Kwa Wan, via Ho Man Tin Station finally connecting to what is currently known as the West Rail Line. With 27 stations along a route length of approximately 56 kilometres, the full TML will be the longest railway line in Hong Kong. As Kowloon City and To Kwa Wan become reachable by railway service, those who live and work along the alignment will enjoy greater ease of travel, and the communities around the stations will also gain new impetus for growth and development. Dr Rex Auyeung, Chairman of MTR Corporation said, “TML is a railway line that will benefit everybody in Hong Kong.

  • LC Paper No. CB(4)1029/20-21(01)
    LC Paper No. CB(4)1029/20-21(01) Legislative Council Panel on Transport Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways Operating Arrangements for the Tuen Ma Line (Translation) Introduction The Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) under the Shatin to Central Link (“SCL”) project will be commissioned on 27 June 2021. This paper informs Members of the operating arrangements for the TML. Background 2. The SCL project consists of two Sections: (a) the Tai Wai to Hung Hom Section comprising the stations of Tai Wai, Hin Keng, expanded Diamond Hill, Kai Tak, Sung Wong Toi, To Kwa Wan, Ho Man Tin and expanded Hung Hom. This section will join the original Ma On Shan Line and the existing West Rail Line to form the TML, while the TML Phase 1 (“TML1”), comprising the section between Tai Wai and Kai Tak, was commissioned in February 2020; and (b) the Hung Hom to Admiralty Section comprising the stations of expanded Hung Hom, Exhibition Centre and expanded Admiralty – this is an extension of the East Rail Line from Hung Hom across the Victoria Harbour to Wan Chai North and Admiralty. The alignment of the TML and updated MTRCL route map are at Annex 1. 3. The SCL is funded and owned by the Government under the concession approach. In preparation for the commissioning of the TML, the Government, the Kowloon-Canton Railway Corporation (“KCRC”) and the MTR Corporation Limited (“MTRCL”) make an arrangement similar to that of the commissioning of the TML1 in February 2020. Prior to the commissioning of the TML, the Government will vest the TML in KCRC which is wholly owned by the Government and then KCRC will grant the right to operate the TML to MTRCL under the service concession approach.

  • PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 Commences Service
    PR003/20 17 January 2020 Tuen Ma Line Phase 1 commences service on 14 February 2020 The MTR Corporation is making its final preparation for the opening of Tuen Ma Line (“TML”) Phase 1 on 14 February 2020, commencing services at three new stations, namely Hin Keng Station, the expanded part of Diamond Hill Station and Kai Tak Station. The MTR Corporation will provide special fare promotions for TML Phase 1. Upon the opening of TML Phase 1, passengers travelling on the Ma On Shan Line (“MOL”) will be able to travel to Kai Tak Station in East Kowloon via Hin Keng Station and Diamond Hill Station without the need to interchange. The expanded Diamond Hill Station will become a new interchange station between TML and the Kwun Tong Line, allowing passengers to travel from the New Territories (NT) North and NT East districts to the East Kowloon and Hong Kong Island East districts in a more efficient and convenient manner. Such new routing will help relieve the current peak passenger load between Tai Wai and Kowloon Tong Stations on the East Rail Line. At the end of January, all passenger trains on the MOL will carry out non-passenger trains testing along the new railway section, i.e. between Hin Keng and Kai Tak Stations. Train frequency of the MOL during peak hours will be slightly adjusted to around 3.5 minutes intervals, similar to the operation arrangements upon TML Phase 1 Opening. Passengers are reminded to pay attention to our announcement and arrangements. The timing for the full opening of TML would depend on the implementation of the suitable measures at Hung Hom Station extension and its connecting structures, and is expected to take place in 2021.
