The Bay Area’s Iron Bond, Home and Nation as One: The Kowloon- Canton Railway Centenary Archive Exhibition
For over a century, the KCR has borne witness and responded to changes in different periods: from hauling of military supplies during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, to resumption of cross-border through trains in the post-war years, to electrification and corporatisation later, and to the eventual integration into the national high-speed rail network, imprinting a mark of the era in each stage. Featuring precious collections from archives in Hong Kong and Guangzhou, the exhibition invites visitors to explore, from a cross-regional perspective, the century-long journey of the KCR that has connected Guangzhou and Hong Kong and supported the integration of the Greater Bay Area.
