About

The moment you push open the door and step inside, a strong metallic scent fills the air, and the body of an old railway train came into view in the dimness. Brown lighting descending from the high ceiling softly wrapped around the iron rails and the rear of the train, and a stillness rippled through the air, as though gazing at relics inside a display case within arm's reach. The bundles of rail track laid along the floor looked like a journey unfolding along the flow of time, and with every step taken across them, the voices of old railway workers seemed to echo and resound. The atmosphere of the exhibition space left a lingering impression, as though transcending time aboard a subway train, drawing visitors a step closer to the spirit of the old railways.
