Exhibition Centre Station

Upon the extension across the harbour, the 46-km East Rail Line (EAL) consists of 16 stations including the new Exhibition Centre Station. Exhibition Centre Station is located next to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre in Wan Chai North, becomes an integral part of the Wan Chai North business area.
The EAL has been serving Hong Kong for over a century. The EAL Cross-Harbour Extension marks a major historic milestone for the EAL as it extends across Victoria Harbour to the core business district in Hong Kong, connecting the New Territories, Kowloon and Hong Kong Island as well as increasing the coverage and connectivity of the railway network with more travelling options for the public.
The Exhibition Centre Station is an underground station located at the heart of the bustling Wan Chai North business district. Various station exits are connected to public facilities such as a Wan Chai’s footbridge network, a public transport interchange and Harbour Road Sports Centre, providing greater convenience to railway passengers.
The Exhibition Centre Station is a three-level underground station. Its interior design follows the classic mosaic style, a characteristic of MTR stations, with turquoise green mixed with grey as the main colour tone symbolising the sea water in Victoria Harbour in front of the station. The signature station name in Chinese calligraphy can also be found on the platform.
The Exhibition Centre Station features some unique station artwork displays. Designed by local artist Warren Leung, “Water Memory” is one of the largest MTR station artworks, covers all three levels of the station. It is formed by approximate 1,200 unique photographic mosaic capturing the seascape in front of the station at different moments. “Remains of War”, locates at the lower platform, exhibits the casing of a World War II bomb discovered during the construction of the station. “East Rail 100+ . . . into the Next Century!” displays historic photos on the station platform records important historical moments and the evolution of the EAL while “East Rail Line Cross Harbour Extension - Construction Challenges” showcases the key construction challenges and project information at platforms.
