New Railway Projects teams celebrate Chinese New Year with the community
Construction works of respective new railway projects are in full swing. Growing together with the communities, our new railway project teams took the chance to celebrate the Year of the Snake with them, sharing wishes for the smooth implementation of the projects.
Wonderful community events – spreading holiday blessings
The Tuen Mun South Extension project team continued its collaboration with the non-profit charity, Ching Chung Koon for an annual Chinese New Year community event. A great performance of the six “lions” and a small dragon from the Taoist Ching Chung Primary School (Wu King Estate) and Ching Chung Wu King Kindergarten successfully kicked off the event. There were several “Fai Chun” booths where calligraphers crafted auspicious phrases on Fai Chun, inscribing wishes and delivering heartfelt blessings to the residents. The project team distributed festive lucky bags, lucky windmills, and Fai Chun to the residents, conveying warm festival greetings and heartfelt wishes.
The event attracted over 1,000 Tuen Mun residents and their family members, and representatives from various sectors, including members of District Council and Community Liaison Groups, were present to celebrate and spread festive wishes. The showcase of Green Ambassador "Green T Baby" was the key highlight of the event which received a warm welcome from many residents. The residents expressed their anticipation towards the low-carbon commuting experience to be brought by the new railway extension projects.
The Tung Chung Line Extension (TUE) project team visited and prepared Fai Chun together with students from The Salvation Army Lam Butt Chung Memorial School and Po Leung Kuk Cheung Poon Mei Yee Kindergarten in Tung Chung and shared the latest progress of the project with them. The project team also supported a Chinese New Year celebration event organised by the Tung Chung Living Network by distributing lucky bags to the residents in Yat Tung Estate and Mun Tung Estate to strengthen the connection with the community.
Strengthening ties with rural communities by celebrating the New Year together
Led by representatives of Kwu Tung Village, the Northern Link project team delivered warm and thoughtful gifts to the villagers in Kwu Tung Village. The Tuen Ma Line Hung Shui Kiu Station project team also shared new year blessings to the Ha Tsuen Rural Committee and village representatives with lucky bags and auspicious Fai Chun. The project teams also updated and shared with the residents and villagers on the latest progress of the projects and expressed gratitude for their ongoing understanding and support.
Partnering with the Tung Chung Rural Committee, the TUE project team packed lucky bags and distributed them to villagers in Ma Wan Chung Village and Shek Mun Kap Village with new year blessings and gratitude for their ongoing understanding and support. The Oyster Bay Station project team also supported the Chinese New Year events in Mui Wo and the three “Heungs” (Pak Mong, Ngau Kwu Long, Tai Ho Village), wishing the villagers good fortune and happiness in the Year of the Snake.
