The Tung Chung Line Extension team celebrated the Lunar New Year with community partners. Led by Ms Joyce Wong, Chairlady of the Tung Chung Rural Committee, the project team visited Ma Wan Chung Village to distribute lucky bags filled with various festive foods to the villagers. On the same day, the Islands District Care Team also helped to distribute lucky bags to other villages in Tung Chung Heung, showing their care for everyone in the community. The project team also supported a calligraphy event in Mun Tung Estate, organised by the Tung Chung Living Network. During the event, calligraphers crafted auspicious phrases on Fai Chun, which were then given as gifts as well as blessings to the neighbours.

Jointly organised by Tung Chung Safe & Healthy City and the Outlying Islands Women’s Association, and supported by the MTR Corporation, the Tung Chung Community Guided Tour Programme – “Connect to the Beauty of Tung Chung” was launched in early autumn last year. Over the past six months, more than 20 tours were organised with more than 500 members of the public, including Tung Chung residents, local organisations and people from all over Hong Kong enjoying an in-depth experience of the diverse beauty of Tung Chung, while learning about the history of Tung Chung’s development and how the railway has driven the community’s development.

The 4th Community Liaison Group meeting was held on 21 March 2024. At the meeting, members including District Council members, local community members, representatives from housing estates, schools and the relevant Government departments were briefed on the progress of the project, and the project team exchanged views with them directly on their concerns.
