The MTR held a media preview of the "Giant Panda Themed Train" at the MTR Wong Chuk Hang Depot this afternoon (Dec. 19), followed by a launch ceremony at the "Giant Panda Themed Station" at Ocean Park Station.

Jeny Yeung Mei-chun, Managing Director - Hong Kong Transport Services of the MTR Corporation Limited, attended to provide details about the "Giant Panda Themed Train" activities to the media.

Yeung stated that starting today (Dec. 19), three giant panda-themed trains will be in operation until early next year. Two of these trains will run on the South Island Line, where Ocean Park Station is located, while the other will be an Airport Express train.

On the giant panda-themed trains, seats and doors will feature cartoon images of the six giant pandas from Ocean Park, along with photos of cartoon pandas with local scenery and cuisine.

Ocean Park Station will be decorated as a giant panda-themed station, and the transfer platform at Tsuen Wan Line will also have special decorations.

Staff at several MTR stations, including those along the Airport Express line, will wear panda-themed accessories to introduce giant pandas to visitors.

In addition, a giant panda-themed high-speed train will be launched next month, connecting Hong Kong West Kowloon Station with Shenzhen and Guangzhou.
