IFC and the Orient Express join hands to bring “Orient Express is coming to town” Christmas installation, turning the mall into a “Central Train Station”! The classic “Midnight Blue” train, making its first appearance in Hong Kong, will take everyone on a luxurious railway journey from ancient times to the present. Visitors can first collect their train tickets, step into the “Central Train Station,” explore the rich art and vibrant history of the Orient Express through viewing precious artifacts, nostalgic exhibits, and historical documents, along with specially designed guided tours, tracing the story of the Orient Express since its inception in 1883.
The Orient Express, known as the “King of Trains, Train of Kings,” was the first train to traverse the continent of Europe, setting off from Paris to Istanbul as early as 1883. From introducing the first sleeping carriages to providing passengers with a comfortable travel and dining experience, the Orient Express redefined the history of railway journeys.
The locomotive and train carriages on site at IFC are all designed based on the original Orient Express, allowing visitors to relive the experience of travelers who boarded the train a century ago, imagining themselves riding the Orient Express through major European cities and admiring the beautiful winter forest scenery outside the train windows.
