What's New
MTR Corporation and the Hong Kong Palace Museum have joined hands on a cross-sector collaboration to launch the "T Chai x Pharaoh Cat: A Journey into Ancient Egypt" thematic showcase starting from 28 May 2026. "T Chai" transforms into a pharaoh and joins the beloved “Pharaoh Cat" at nine MTR stations and malls to curate a citywide cultural discovery route. Extending the museum experience into the community, the initiative invites the public to embark on a cultural journey spanning 5,000 years of ancient Egypt civilisation.
Themed Station @ Hong Kong Station
Dates: 28 May – 28 June 2026
Location: Living Art Stage, Central Subway of Hong Kong Station (Paid area near Exit C)
Guided by 1.4-metre-tall "Pharaoh T Chai" and "Pharaoh Cat", visitors are led into a themed train compartment and a giant pyramid installation, travelling in an instant from a modern MTR station back to ancient Egypt. An interactive hieroglyph installation also allows participants to convert their names into ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, offering a hands-on encounter with the unique charm of ancient Egyptian writing.

"Pharaoh T Chai", together with "Pharaoh Cat" in different designs inspired by treasured artefacts, will accompany the public on a journey across nine stops, linking together to form a citywide cultural discovery route. Accompanied by Radio Host Wong Ching Yi (Ah Jeng)'s audio narration, each stop vividly brings to life different themed characters and cultural stories, encouraging the public to discover the links between ancient Egyptian civilisation and local communities.
MTR and the HKPM are jointly launching a range of limited-edition souvenirs that blend ancient Egyptian cultural elements with railway features, making them highly collectible. A key highlight is the "Pharaoh T Chai x Pharaoh Cat" limited-edition gift set, which includes plush key charms of Pharaoh T Chai and Pharaoh Cat, together with accessories such as a train captain name badge and mosaic-style key charms for added collecting fun. The campaign also features limited-edition, non-sale commemorative fans themed around "Pharaoh Cat", "Pharaoh T Chai" and "Pharaoh Captain Go", each designed with distinctive commemorative appeal.
The public and visitors are invited to join "Pharaoh T Chai" and "Pharaoh Cat", travelling across nine stations and MTR malls to embark on an ancient Egyptian adventure spanning 5,000 years and uncover the mysterious imprints of ancient Egypt. Participants can also take part in an "exploration mission" by collecting digital badges^ across nine stops via MTR Mobile.
