As a community railway, the design of the West Island Line has been specifically tailored to accommodate the needs of the community. To bring out the unique culture of the Western District in the stations design, the MTR Corporation has joined hands with the local community and art groups to organize a “West Island Line Community Art Programme” with a series of cultural activities namely “Our Memories of The Western District” and “Our Impression of The Western District”, to promote a better understanding of the Western District through public participation in art creation, and to enhance the connection between the West Island Line and the community.

For more information, please refer to the West Island Line Community Art Programme leaflet.

"Our Memories of Western District"

Photographic Competition

The competition is co-organised by the MTR Corporation and Central and Western District Council, with support from local community groups. Unique images of the vicinity are captured and outstanding photographs will be selected as the theme pictures for use in the three new stations of the WIL.

Over four hundred entries were received, and the finalists were shortlisted and displayed online and via exhibition for public voting. Winning photos will form the theme photos to be permanently displayed in the three stations of West Island Line.

Photo Collection
In order to further enhance community participation, the theme picture in each station will be a panoramic collage composed by 20,000 small photos to be collected in the district.

Thanks to the support from the public, the photo collection activity was completed successfully on 30 Sept 2011.


Note: The organizers retain the permanent right to publish, duplicate, display, distribute and exhibit all submissions without prior consent and any monetary reward.

"Our Impressions of Western District"

The Corporation and the Hong Kong Youth Art Foundation jointly organised the “Our Impression of The Western District” workshops and tours to provide an opportunity for the public to better understand the Western District as well as to promote Hong Kong’s community art. Led by local artists, a group of young people make use of different media including photograph documentary, pinhole camera making, collage, illustration, etc., to create different art pieces which portray the traditional shops, heritage and livelihoods in Western District. The participants can explore the life in Western District during the workshops and their art pieces will be permanently displayed in Sai Ying Pun Station and Hong Kong University Station.
